(KNZA)--The burn ban for Doniphan County has been lifted following this week’s rain.

That word Friday from County Emergency Management Coordinator Julie Meng, who asks residents to contact the Doniphan County Sheriff’s Department at 785-985-3711 before burning.

However, in neighboring Brown County, Sheriff John Merchant says his office is not issuing burn permits due to a high fire danger.

That's the same reason cited by officials in keeping the burn ban in place for Atchison County until further notice.
