Daily Wildfire Report
Iowa Wildfire Activity Remains Minimal Statewide
Wildfire activity across Iowa remains quiet, with no uncontained large fires burning statewide.
Conditions and Outlook
No Red Flag Warnings or Fire Weather Watches are in effect across Iowa. Significant fire potential remains at its lowest level statewide over the coming days, aided by higher humidity and light shower chances in northern counties.
Burn Bans and Land Management
No open burn bans are currently in effect across Iowa's 99 counties. Late-fall prescribed burns are underway in select county parks for prairie restoration, so visible smoke or charred fields in those areas are planned.
What Residents Should Do
- Clear crop debris from combines and inspect bearings for overheating during harvest.
- Keep a fully charged fire extinguisher mounted and accessible on harvest machinery.
