Countywide burn ban still in effect

The Clarendon Volunteer Fire Department is reminding everyone that there is still a Burn Ban in effect for Donley County.

CVFD asks that everyone use common sense when performing any action could result in a wildfire. Recent snows have done little if anything to lessen the wildfire danger.

While the Donley County Burn Ban attempts to prevent wildfires by banning burning on the worse days, a day the burn ban is not in place is not an indication that conditions are safe for an individual to conduct a burn.

If you do plan on welding or performing any burning, make sure you have a method of fire suppression at hand and clear the work area of fuels such as grass. Check the weather forecast and pay close attention the wind.

If in doubt, contact any of your local fire officials for advice. Do your part to keep your local fire departments in the station.
