Dry Weather Continues (For Now?), Burn Bans in Effect

Most of Iowa has seen little in the way of rainfall so far this month resulting in very dry conditions across the state, which has contributed to a number of wildfires. As a result, fire departments in about two dozen Iowa counties have issued bans on open burning. With rain in the forecast later this week conditions should improve.

Burn bans are currently in effect in the following counties: Webster, Winnebago, Hancock, Wright, Worth, Cerro Gordo, Franklin, Hardin, Mitchell, Floyd, Butler, Howard, Chickasaw, Bremer, Fayette, Buchanan, Linn, Delaware, Dubuque, Jackson, Clinton, Scott, Mahaska, and Wapello.
