Citing slightly damper conditions, the Barton County Commission Monday morning lifted the temporary county-wide burn ban at the request of fire chiefs across the county. Effective noon Monday, individuals could again burn with approval from the fire chief having jurisdiction of the area where the burning is to take place. Emergency Risk Manager Amy Miller said burning is still not allowed without a burn permit and without appropriate notification to authorities.
