A ban has been put on burning in Nokomis and Coalton.  Due to extreme dry conditions and little to no significant moisture in the forecast, starting September 18th, the Nokomis Area Fire Protection District is prohibiting burning of any type.  The burn ban will be reviewed in seven days.  If the conditions do not improve, the burn ban will be extended.  The Nokomis Area Fire Protection District and fire chief Michael Smalley says they will advise when the ban will be lifted.
