(KAIR)--Doniphan County has been placed under a burn ban.
That word Tuesday from County Emergency Management Coordinator Julie Meng.
She cites the predicted fire index for the county in making the decision.
The index, released by the National Weather Service, was also cited this week by Atchison County Emergency Management Director Wes Lanter in keeping Atchison County under a burn ban.
The index indicates high to very high fire dangers for both counties through Friday.
The bans will remain in effect until further notice.
Meanwhile, the high fire dangers have also put an end to burning in Brown County.
Sheriff John Merchant says his office will not be issuing burn permits issued until further notice.
