Burn ban in effect

PRESCOTT – Because of the extreme heat and dry weather, Nevada County Judge Mark Glass has issued a burn ban for Nevada County.

He said county judges in surrounding counties have also issued such bans on open burning. The ban will remain in effect until a significant amount of rain has fallen.

Glass said it doesn’t look good for the next couple of weeks as the extended forecast continues calling for hot, dry weather, with slight chances of rain.

The ban includes burning inside city limits. Anyone violating the burn ban is subject to a fine.
