Logansport, IN – Cass County’s temporary burn ban officially expired Monday, October 20, 2025, at 2 p.m., following a decision by the Board of Commissioners not to extend the order.
According to the Cass County Emergency Management Agency, Executive Order 2025-01 has ended, and no new burn ban will be issued at this time. The expiration means the county returns to its standard open-burning rules under Ordinance 2023-16, which outlines what types of outdoor burning are permitted and the penalties for violations.
Cass County’s regulations mirror Indiana’s statewide burning laws overseen by the Department of Environmental Management. Residents can review state burning guidelines and printable summaries at in.gov/idem/openburning.

Residents are encouraged to follow all safety rules for outdoor fires, including proper supervision, avoiding burning during windy conditions, and never leaving fires unattended.
