(KAIR)--Burn bans, issued last week for Atchison and Doniphan Counties, have been lifted.

That word comes in alerts issued Monday morning by the Emergency Management Offices for both counties.

The Doniphan County alert encourages residents to use extreme caution when conducting any open burning.

The Atchison County alert reminds those who are burning to contact Atchison County dispatch with their permit number at 913-367-4323.

The bans were issued March 4 due to a High Fire Warning being issued by the National Weather Service because of the then windy, dry conditions.
