Burn permits were not being issued in the Kearney area, due to dry conditions. On Oct. 25, the Kearney Volunteer Fire Department issued a burn ban that will remain in effect until the city receives measurable moisture. The fire chief also discouraged people from burning in burn barrels during the ban. The wind, warmth and low humidity allowed the vegetation to dry quickly, contributing to a rash of wildfires across Nebraska on Oct. 23.
