Yankton County has declared a permanent burn ban.
Yankton County Emergency Management Director, Paul Scherschligt, says the county has been in and out of a burn ban over the past several weeks, but a fire within the county last week led to this decision.
Scherschligt says while the ban is in place, it does not apply to municipalities in the county.
Scherschligt says the ban will remain in place until the fire chiefs in the county agree to lift the ban.
