BURNING BAN RE-INSTATED WEDNESDAY MORNING

The Brown County sheriff’s office is going to re-instate a burning ban for the county this (Wednesday) morning at 9 am.  This means no open burning of CRP land and/or ditches or brush piles is permitted.  Recreational campfires are permitted but must be contained in a ring of either rock, cement, brick or metal and must not be closer than 25 feet to any structure and must be attended to.  Charcoal grills, wood smokers and propane or natural gas devices are not considered open burning.  A Red Flag Warning will go into effect at noon Wednesday.
