Due to extreme conditions, the Polk County, Missouri, Commission
passed Ordinance 2022-07 enacting a burn ban for the entire county beginning Friday, July 29.
This ban coincides with the City of Bolivar burn ban, which was issued on Tuesday, July 5.
Polk County is currently in an extreme drought. No outside burning or flames are allowed in the
city or county due to extreme fire conditions.
Both burn bans will be in place until drought conditions subside.
