Cherokee, Iowa — Another burning ban has been issued near our area.
According to the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office, at the request of all fire chiefs in Cherokee County, the county has been placed in a burn ban until further notice. They tell us that burn permits will not be issued at this time.
But they say permits may be reconsidered once crops are out of the fields. Recreational fires will be allowed, however, any fire must be in a contained pit, with a lid, that prevents the spreading of hot embers.
