Limestone County commissioners voted to keep the countywide burn ban in place after hearing from members that recent grass fires created ongoing risk.
A commissioner said the council should “leave it on at this time,” citing a fire reported the previous day on County Road 454. The court discussed the difficulty of safely burning brush during the current conditions and decided not to remove the ban.
The vote was taken by voice and the motion to retain the ban passed with no recorded opposition. Commissioners also publicly thanked local fire departments for their work fighting recent grass fires.
