The Flint Hills Smoke Management Plan takes effect on Wednesday, April 1, covering sixteen Kansas counties, including Butler County. During April, open burning is restricted. Allowed activities include:
- Pasture burning for land management
- Household trash burning in unincorporated areas under normal burn rules
- Ceremonial fires
Brush pile burning is not allowed. These limits help reduce smoke during prescribed burning season. Unauthorized or unsafe fires may result in enforcement action.
