The burn ban for Washington County will remain in effect for another week.

 

At Monday's county commissioners meeting, officials discussed the burn ban that was enacted last week. District 1 Commissioner Mitch Antle says weather conditions continue to support keeping the ban in place.

 

If enough rain is received during this week, the commissioners may lift the ban at the meeting next Monday. Antle also reminded agricultural residents there is a process in place for those who need to complete a pasture burn.

 

Burn bans also remain in effect for Nowata and Adair Counties.
