ATTENTION NORTH BANNOCK FIRE DISTRICT RESIDENTS:
Starting June 1, 2026 the City of Pocatello and Bannock County will implement a mandatory ban on certain types of fires to mitigate increasing wildfire risks.
This year’s ban comes earlier than prior years due to lower snowpack and moisture levels than what we normally average. Coupled with a recent stretch of unseasonably high temperatures, local vegetation has dried out much faster than usual, creating volatile fuel conditions across the region.
Ban Details
Prohibited: No open burning, recreational fires, or fireworks are allowed within the Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) areas of Pocatello and Bannock County.
Exemptions: Cooking, warming, and ceremonial fires are exempt but must be in an approved burn pit or ring. Flames shall not exceed 3ft wide by 2ft tall.
Fireworks: Only non-aerial fireworks are permitted in non-WUI areas. Per Idaho State Code, aerial fireworks are strictly prohibited everywhere except for approved professional displays.
The ban will remain in place until October 1, 2026, or until significant moisture returns and conditions allow for the ban to be safely lifted.
Meeting Info
Regular meetings are scheduled on the second Thursday of each month at 5:30 PM located at 444 E. Chubbuck Road.
