(MSC News)--Current weather conditions mean a reduced risk for fire dangers; and, because of that, Brown County Sheriff John Merchant says burn permits are again being issued in the county. “We just caution residents to make sure that they take care of their fires and watch them since the conditions are pretty dry,” Merchant tells MSC News.
The burn ban that had been in place for Doniphan County has also been lifted, but the current ban in Atchison County remains in place. It's expected to be reviewed, and likely lifted, on Monday.
