Burn Bans Implemented Locally
03/21/2016

(KAIR)--Burning is again being made off limits in the local area, as the National Weather Service issues a Red Flag Warning for Monday and a Fire Weather Watch for Tuesday. 

Because of that, Atchison County Emergency Preparedness Director Wes Lanter tells MSC News a burn ban is being implemented for Atchison County. It will remain in effect until further notice. 

Doniphan County Emergency Management Coordinator Julie Meng says the burn ban, issued Monday morning, will remain in place until 7:00 Tuesday evening. 

The National Weather Service says fire dangers are increased by the current climate, due to strong winds and dry conditions.
