Burn ban lifted for the county

For the first time in nearly two months, Kendall County residents can conduct burns on their property.

On Monday, Fire Marshal Brady Constantine announced the county’s burn ban — in place since an emergency order was issued Feb. 18 — temporarily would be lifted as of 7 a.m. Tuesday, April 7.

Recent rains and forecasts of stretches of precipitation in the next 10-14 days helped Constantine and the county’s volunteer fire department chiefs make the determination.
