Burn Ban in Benton County

Benton County Commissioners have issued an executive order this week saying that due to dangerously dry conditions and a lack of rainfall, a burn ban is in effect. The order prohibits all open burning in Benton county, including campfires, brush fires, and fireworks, to prevent potential fire hazards. The Commissioners are urging residents to avoid any activities that could spark a fire, as the risk remains high. This burn ban will stay in effect until April 9th and could be extended.
