Due to continued drought conditions, Crittenden County Judge-Executive Fred Brown has re-issued the outdoor burn ban that was in force earlier this summer.The burn ban had been in place for more than a month starting in August, but it was lifted a couple of weeks ago after a rain. Now, the county is experiencing dry conditions again and firemen are being called to a number of field fires. One fire burned several acres Thursday between Cave Springs Church Road and Ky. 120.
The burn ban prohibits all outdoor burning.
This is not be confused with the fire hazard season, which begins on Oct. 1 and prohibits daytime burning only. The judge's countywide ban prohibits burning at any time.
