Franklin County Commissioners issue another burn ban

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The previous burn ban was issued on October 25 and rescinded six days later after rains the previous weekend lessened conditions that could spark fires.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.
