Advisory

Burn Ban in Effect

The City of Lake Geneva Fire Chief John Peters, pursuant to Sec. 30-3(d)(4) of the Municipal Code of the City of Lake Geneva, Wisconsin has issued a ban on all open burning until further notice.
This ban includes all outdoor fireplaces or pits. This order does not prohibit residents from using grills for cooking food.
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources has designated Walworth County as a Moderate Fire Risk Area. Southeast Wisconsin is experiencing extremely dry conditions; high heat; strong winds, and below average rain fall has left the region with extremely dry vegetation. Chief Peters expressed this ban is a necessary precaution to reduce the risk to lives, property and our natural resources. Unfortunately the temporary ban is an inconvenience to those who may be enjoying outdoor activities; however “a temporary ban is necessary as it is just too dangerous at this time” If you have any questions call 262-248-7228 For additional safety information see https://apps.dnr.wi.gov/wisburn/#/BurnRestrictions
