County-Wide Burn Ban Lifted
The Owen County Board of Commissioners determined today, Tuesday, that conditions have improved enough to lift the county-wide burn ban that has been in place. The Disaster Declaration prohibiting open burning is no longer in effect. However, the commissioners will be monitoring weather and drought conditions and if it becomes apparent that the dry conditions are increasing the risk of fire danger, the Disaster Declaration will be reinstated. The commissioners would like to remind everyone to follow good safety practices when using fire and combustible materials.
