Burn Ban - Grundy County
Effective Immediately due to the increasingly dry conditions throughout the county, Grundy County is under an Open Burn Ban until further notice. This burn ban was requested by the county fire chiefs, through the county emergency management agency and sent to the State Fire Marshall's Office. A copy of the proclamation from the State Fire Marshall is below.

In partnership with the National Association of Counties (NACo) and the Iowa State Association of Counties (ISAC):
“This centrally-located drop-off, in addition to the one at the Grundy Center Community Building, provides convenience while respecting our national symbol,” said Mark Schildroth, Grundy County Board of Supervisors Chairperson. “The county is unified in helping enable our citizens to respect our great nation while disposing of old or worn flags.”
Grundy County has installed a flag retirement box, at no cost to the county, on the first-floor lobby of the Grundy County Courthouse, 706 G Avenue, Grundy Center. This box is in addition to the retirement box that serves the same purpose located at the Grundy Center Community Building. The United States Flag Code prescribes flag etiquette – everything from flying it near other flags to instructions on how to raise and lower it. “The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem of display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning,” says the code. Flags should be folded respectfully before being placed in the box. Grundy County will then be responsible for the proper disposal of the worn flags.
