Franklin County, IN — The county-wide burn ban that was issued last week by Franklin County Commissioners has been lifted.
The order to rescind was made after Saturday’s snowfall saturated the ground.
It was then that it was decided that the county was no longer at risk of widespread fire hazards.

Franklin County, IN — One week after canceling the previous order, another county-wide burn ban was issued by Franklin County Commissioners on Wednesday morning.
The previous burn ban was issued on October 25 and rescinded six days later after rains the previous weekend lessened conditions that could spark fires.
Commissioners say the county is at risk of widespread fire hazards due to drought conditions and high winds.
The burn ban is in effect until further notice.
