As dry weather continues to dominate the region this week, the Lawrence County Fire and Rescue team is preparing for what is anticipated to be a particularly active period. In light of these conditions, officials are urging residents to refrain from leaving any burn piles unattended. It is important to note that properties located outside city limits in Lawrence County are not mandated to obtain a burn permit until after October 15th. However, for those residing within the city limits of Lawrenceburg and Loretto, a burn permit is required in accordance with city ordinances.
In response to the ongoing dry conditions, both the City of Loretto and the City of Lawrenceburg have implemented a burn ban that will remain in effect until further notice. This precautionary measure aims to mitigate the risk of wildfires and ensure the safety of the community during this critical time. Residents are encouraged to stay informed and adhere to these regulations to help prevent any potential fire hazards.
