(KNZA)--The Doniphan County Commission is considering an amendment to the county's burn ban resolution.
According to the unofficial meeting minutes, the issue was discussed at Monday's meeting, with Sheriff Mark Allen, Undersheriff Brendan Wolvington and Emergency Management Coordinator Julie Meng on hand.
Allen told commissioners the current resolution allows burning in a non-combustible container during a burn ban, which resulted in his department receiving several calls of concern about any type of burning during a ban.
Allen asked the Commission to consider amending the resolution to disallow any type of burning when a burn ban or red flag warning has been issued.
The Commission took no action pending review of the current resolution and further discussion with County Attorney Charles Baskins.
