Newton County - Burn Ban

National Weather Service.

Fire danger returning today. Dangerous fire weather conditions are expected Tuesday as gusty northern winds bring much drier air into the region. Elevated fire danger means that weather and land conditions are favorable for erratic fire spread.

Fires can spread rapidly in these conditions. Burn ban will be extended until conditions are more favorable. I know we got some rain but we need more. Thanks for your patience.
