Update:
Decatur, Franklin, Jackson, and Ohio Counties have now been added to Indiana counties that have issued a burn ban until further notice due to drought conditions in southeastern Indiana.
Original Story
Connersville, IN—Union County is now under a Burn Ban. This does include Whitewater Memorial State Park and Quakertown State Recreation Area.
At this time, campers are still permitted to build campfires in their designated fire rings. Please be sure that the area surrounding your fire ring is clear of any debris or flammable materials. The fire must be completely contained inside the fire ring. Never leave your fire unattended and be sure that it is completely out before leaving it.
