Vigo County burn ban will expire Thursday; commissioners do not plan to renew
Summary
After recent rainfall, the Vigo County Commissioners said a burn ban imposed last week will expire Thursday and they do not expect to reissue it.
Vigo County officials announced that a burn ban imposed last week will expire on Thursday and that commissioners do not anticipate renewing it, citing recent rain.
County staff said the ban was put in place on the previous Thursday during dry conditions. After rain earlier in the week and more forecast, commissioners said they did not plan to extend the restriction and that the burn ban would be allowed to lapse at the end of the current period.
The announcement came before the public-comment portion of the meeting; no public commenters addressed the burn ban in the transcript. Commissioners reminded attendees of upcoming community events and recessed the meeting for two weeks because they will attend the Association of Indiana Counties annual meeting in French Lick.
