(MSC News)--Due to the high fire danger created by the windy, warm weather, a burn ban has been issued in Doniphan County for today and Saturday.
That word from County Emergency Management Coordinator Julie Meng.
A similar ban is in place for Atchison County, where Emergency Management Director Wes Lanter says burning is prohibited until further notice.
In Brown County, Sheriff John Merchant says his office will not be issuing burn permits until further notice due to the high fire danger.
The National Weather Service says a very high fire danger is expected today, mainly east and south of an Abilene to Hiawatha line. Outdoor burning is not recommended.
Also the Weather Service says an elevated fire danger is possible Saturday afternoon, mainly south of I-70.
