WISE
EYES,
Wise
County Judge Bill McElhaney will be enacting an executive Commissioners Court
order before lunch today, thus placing a BURN BAN
over Wise County. The recent weather
conditions have made outdoor burning extremely dangerous.
Wise County has had a rash of grass fires in the past several days,
keeping volunteer fire departments very busy.
The Executive Order will be in effect until the Wise County Commissioners
Court can meet in regular session to place a longer ban on.
Todays
weather forecast is for dry conditions, low humidity, and high winds.
This makes the conditions very dangerous, along with raising the
potential for wildfires.
WISE COUNTY UNDER A BURN BAN EFFECTIVE
today,,,,please
report any outdoor burning to the Wise County Sheriff's Office or your local
fire department.
David Walker, Sheriff
