(KNZA)--Burn bans have been issued for Brown and Doniphan Counties.
They were implemented Friday due to very windy conditions.
Brown County Sheriff John Merchant says his office will not be issuing burn permits until further notice.
Doniphan County Emergency Management Coordinator Julie Meng says her county's burn ban will remain in place until further notice.
A burn ban was issued Thursday for Atchison County and also remains in effect until further notice.
The National Weather Service has placed the area under a Red Flag Warning.
The Weather Service says high winds combined with dormant grasses will result in an elevated fire danger risk across the area.
