Summary

Fire and emergency staff recommended, and commissioners accepted, no action to reimpose the county burn ban after recent storms left conditions saturated; the permit status remains 'off.'

Kendall County’s fire and emergency staff told the court on May 26 that recent storm systems have saturated the county and recommended no change to the current burn-permit status. The recommendation to leave the burn ban off was accepted with no objection from the commissioners.

Staff noted the county’s KDVI index was very low and there was additional rain in the forecast for the week, which informed the recommendation. Commissioners recorded no objections and continued the current permit status.
