Crittenden County's outdoor burn ban was lifted earlier today because there has been sufficient rainfall to correct drought conditions that had created a hazardous situation with regard to wildfires.
As a reminder, the statewide Fall Wildfire Season begins Oct. 1, after which outdoor burning is prohibited during daylight hours from 6am to 6pm within 150 feet of a woodland or grassland.
Rains Thursday night and throughout Friday have dumped 4-5 inches of rain on the county.
