County judge lifts emergency burn ban

The emergency burn ban, which has been enforced for about two months due to drought conditions, has been lifted.

Crittenden County Judge-Executive Perry Newcom said Monday morning that sufficient rainfall had been realized throughout the county to lift the burn ban. He said anyone burning should continue to exercise extreme caution due to the volatile conditions.

It is safest to burn after 6 p.m., and before 6 a.m.
