CENTRAL ILLINOIS (WCIA) — Following a welcome downpour over the weekend, several Emergency Management Agencies and fire officials in Central Illinois have decided to lift previously imposed burn bans.
The Iroquois County Emergency Management Agency announced on October 19th that it had ended the ban due to “significant rainfall” that decreased the chance of quickly spreading fires. They advise residents to never leave fires unattended and to ensure they can extinguish them promptly if necessary.
