The PCSO said that after consulting with county fire chiefs, the ban was enacted because of the ongoing Saint Charles Fire.
Due to the significant number of resources being utilized to fight the fire, the Burn Ban will remain in place until there is "adequate control" of the fire, the sheriff's office said.
The Custer County Sheriff's Office has also enacted Stage 1 fire restrictions for Custer County.
