Casey County judge-executive Randy dial has issued an executive order open burning ban for all of Casey County.

 Effective immediately all open burning in all areas of Casey county is hereby banned until further notice.

 The statement says a lack of rain in recent weeks has produced dry conditions in area grasslands & woodlands, lawns and shrubbery, which poses an increased risk of damage from wildfires, caused by open burning.

 Again this ban is effective immediately and will be lifted after sufficient rainfall to abate the hazardous conditions.

 If you have any questions, contact Casey County Judge-Executive Randy Dial's office at the Casey County Courthouse.
