City of Bethany Enacts Burn Ban

The City of Bethany has put a burn ban into effect beginning immediately. It is scheduled to be lifted Monday at 8am

The Harrison County Commissioners have stopped short of announcing a burn ban for Harrison County, but they are strongly discouraging open burning for the region at least through Thursday evening. Fire departments have been stressed in recent days due to the amount of dry fuels and windy conditions. Those same conditions are expected to continue on Thursday. There is a strong probability of rain in the weather forecast overnight Thursday night into Friday.
