Two counties in the Raccoon Valley Radio listening area are now under a burn ban.

Adair and Guthrie County Emergency Management Deputy Coordinator Jeremy Cooper says Adair and Guthrie counties are under a burn ban as of Saturday. The burn ban was issued due to the dry conditions and windy conditions, along with dead and dying vegetation that can catch fire quickly. Any open, controlled burns are prohibited without a permit that is signed by the fire chief of that district.

Emergency Management will continue to communicate with the local fire chiefs to determine when the burn bans are lifted. Raccoon Valley Radio will bring you more information as it becomes official.
