Here’s an annual reminder: Sedgwick County and 15 others are under an open burn ban for all of April. Restricted activities include “burning trees and brush from land clearing, crop residues, construction debris, yard waste and the use of backyard chimineas and fire pits,” a city news release said. Starting April 1, no new burn ban permits will be issued and previously issued permits will be suspended until May 1. Exceptions to the ban include “outdoor cooking apparatuses, ceremonial fires, or open burning for the purpose of crop, range, pasture, and wildlife or watershed management,” the release said.
