County declares burn ban
Better not light that match.
The Douglas County Commission has imposed restrictions on outdoor burning, due to a lack of rain and dry soil throughout the county. The ban is in effect until next Monday.
The ban includes:
¢ Open fires or campfires, except on residential sites. Barbecues and fireplaces are excluded.
¢ The burning of all fence rows, fields, wildlands, ravines, trash, debris or other areas or materials.
¢ Careless use and disposal of smoking materials.
