Dry Conditions Create Field Fire Concerns

Northwest Iowa — Sixteen Iowa counties are under a burn ban. Le Mars fire chief Dave Schipper requested the burn ban in Plymouth County.

Schipper says they have answered several calls in the last few days for grass and field fires. He advises farmers to take special precautions to keep their machines from creating a fire.
