Charles Mix County has an AUTOMATIC BURN BAN. This burn ban is in effect on a day to day basis and is determined by the current National Weather Service Grassland Fire Danger Statement. When Charles Mix County is in the categories of VERY HIGH, EXTREME, or RED FLAG a burn ban will be in effect. This will last until the National Weather Service reduces Charles Mix County to Low, Moderate, or High. This typically changes daily. A fine of $500 along with all costs associated with the extinguishment is possible if a fire is started.   The NWS Grassland Fire Danger Statement can be found by scrolling down.
