Rutherford County Fire-Rescue’s Fire Chief Larry Farley has placed a mandatory ban on open burning in the unincorporated areas of Rutherford County until further notice.
The ban is the direct result of dry vegetation due to lack of rainfall.
“Until we receive a substantial amount of rain, we will not lift the open burn ban,” said Farley “Conditions right now are not safe for opening burning.”
According to local Weather forecast, Rutherford County is not expected to receive any rain fall for the next 10 days.
“We appreciate everyone’s cooperation, and will announce the lift as soon as conditions become safe to burn again,” Farley continued.
