Elkhart County lifts burn ban

Posted:

Elkhart County Commissioners lifted the county's burn ban Monday morning. The county had been under a burn ban since mid-June.

Commissioners are still urging people use caution while burning. They say there are still areas of the county that are dry and susceptible to fire.

Lifting the ban doesn't mean residents can light fireworks. A county ordinance limits when people can light them. County Commissioners say they will consider an exemption that would let people use fireworks yet this year.
