Pettis County Fire Chief Mike Harding has imposed a burn ban in the Pettis County Fire Protection District until further notice, it was announced Wednesday afternoon around 2:45 p.m.
Rain fell across West Central Missouri last weekend, and some have thought with the rain there would be no more burn ban. However, the rain that fell was not enough to drop the burn ban in Pettis County according Mike Harding of the Pettis County Fire Department.
