Labette County is still under a county-wide burn ban that includes the cities of Oswego, Chetopa and Edna.

Commissioner Lonie Addis says he has had a number of people ask if the county is still under the ban. He says the ban cannot be lifted without a majority vote of the county commission.

Emergency Management Director Charlie Morse polled the county fire chiefs last night, who voted unanimously to keep the county under a ban. Addis says even though it is the decision of the commission he would not go against the fire chiefs' wishes so the ban will stay in place
