(KNZA)--Current weather conditions have increased the potential for fire dangers; and, because of that, Brown County Sheriff John Merchant says burning in the county is off limits. “Until further notice, the Brown County Sheriff's Office will not be issuing burn permits,” Merchant tells MSC News. “The National Weather Service has issued that we are in a high warning for fire danger due to dry conditions and wind.”
The elevated fire dangers are estimated to last through the weekend, and possibly into early next week, leading to the issuance of a burn ban in Doniphan County.
Emergency Coordinator Julie Meng says the ban, effective as of 7:00 Saturday morning, will remain in place through 7:00 Sunday evening.
A burn ban is also put in place for Atchison County, with the ban implemented Saturday.
