Burn Bans Extended Locally
04/07/2016

(KAIR)--With high fire dangers remaining in the forecast through the weekend, local burn bans have been extended. 

That means burning remains off limits in both Atchison and Doniphan Counties, where the respective Emergency Management Offices say the bans remain in place through Monday. 

The Brown County Sheriff's Office is also withholding the issuance of burning permits for the time being. 

The National Weather Service reports that the continuing strong winds, coupled with the low relative humidity levels means a high potential for fires, especially in rural locations.
