Strong winds spread fire
Sunday afternoon at about 12:45, a controlled agricultural burn turned into an uncontrolled field fire on the 6000 N. block of County Road 400 E. The wind was especially strong today, gusting to 18 MPH in Versailles at 12:50 this afternoon. Ripley County EMA reminds you that while the county is no longer under a burn ban, openly burning any type of material, especially agricultural material, with high winds is dangerous.
Wait for a day and/or time when the wind is not high and also remember that open fires for agricultural purposes are particularly dangerous at night.
