Conditions too dry to conduct any kind of burn

Tuesday, September 17, 2019 at 11:54 AM

By Indiana Homeland Security release

Includes Jefferson Co.

While fall bonfires and s'mores make great memories, we want to remind Hoosiers that due to a lack of rainfall throughout much of Indiana many counties are abnormally dry. Having a bonfire can become a potential hazard due to these dry conditions.

If your county is under a burn ban, please adhere to the local laws. If you are not under a burn ban, you should continue to exercise caution while open burning and ensure you have a fire extinguisher or garden hose available to extinguish any fire quickly.

The Jefferson Co. area is listed as "Abnormally Dry"
