Conditions too dry to conduct any kind of burn

By Indiana Homeland Security release

Includes Jefferson Co.

While fall bonfires and s'mores make great memories, we want to remind Hoosiers that due to a lack of rainfall throughout much of Indiana many counties are abnormally dry. Having a bonfire can become a potential hazard due to these dry conditions.

If your county is under a burn ban, please adhere to the local laws. If you are not under a burn ban, you should continue to exercise caution while open burning and ensure you have a fire extinguisher or garden hose available to extinguish any fire quickly.

The Jefferson Co. area is listed as "Abnormally Dry"
