North Dakota Burn Restrictions & Fire Danger Maps

Check for restrictions before burning and participating in outdoor activities.

It is critical that you verify current restrictions before burning or participating in outdoor activities. Conditions may develop throughout the day, such as the issuance of a Red Flag Warning, resulting in a change in restriction status. Our all-in-one map (link below) enables users to check for Burn Restrictions, Fire Danger ratings, Red Flag warnings, and local declarations within one intuitive tool.

This map may not be all-inclusive. Incorporated cities may have their permanent burn restrictions based on local ordinances. Please contact your local fire department or emergency management office for the most current information regarding restrictions in your area.
