Dubois County burn ban in effect
Dubois County is now under a burn ban.
Due to the drought conditions throughout Dubois County, the Dubois County Commissioners put the ban in place at the recommendation of the twelve Dubois County Fire Chiefs.
Effective immediately, the following acts are prohibited in Dubois County:
- Open burning of any kind using conventional fuel such as wood, or other combustible matter, with the exception of grills fueled by charcoal briquettes or propane;
- The burning of debris, such as timber or vegetation, including such debris that results from building construction activities;
- Campfires and other recreational fires
Amazing to me that fireworks and anything pyrotechnic is not included, or that they can’t be included if in a kind of special, protected (hands off) category.
