Summary

Nebraska now bans all bonfires, outdoor rubbish fires, and land‑clearing burns unless a local fire chief issues a permit. The permit must include specific details about the burn and may cost up to $10, with the State Fire Marshal providing a standard form. Land‑management burns such as prescribed or controlled fires also require a detailed plan and approval, and permits are valid for only 30 days.
