The State Fire Mrashal has issued a burning ban for Jasper County beginning at noon today.
The Jasper County Fire Chiefs Association requested that the state issue a ban on open burning in Jasper County due to the current and forecasted continued dry conditions that cause increased fire danger.
The State Fire Marshal determined that the conditions in Jasper County are such that open burning constitutes a danger to life or property and issued the proclamation prohibiting open burning as allowed by state law.
The open burning ban will remain in effect until dry conditions have improved.
