The Vernon County Commission has issued a countywide burn ban due to extremely dry conditions and the recent increase in fires across the area. Under RSMO 49.266 allows the Commission to perform such duties as burn bans.
Residents are urged to refrain from all outdoor burning until conditions improve and the burn ban is lifted.
Please help keep our communities, homes, farms, and first responders safe. With conditions this dry, even a small fire can spread quickly.
Please do not burn until further notice.
Editor's note: It would be good practice to avoid ALL outdoor burning in the region as temps will continue to hover around 100 during the day, with no rain in sight for the time being.
