Burning Being Allowed Locally

(MSC News)--Burn permits are again being issued in Brown County. 

That word Saturday morning from Sheriff John Merchant. 
He says weather conditions currently are not creating a high fire danger, allowing his department to issue the permits. 
However, Merchant says Sunday's forecast indicates a return to windy and dry conditions, which increase the risk of fire. Based on the forecast, Merchant says it's likely Saturday will be the only day this weekend that burning will be allowed. 
Meanwhile, Atchison County has lifted the burn ban it had it place. 
That happened Saturday morning, based on the current weather conditions.
