A county-wide burn ban has been issued in Livingston County until further notice.
According to Livingston County officials, the burn ban is effective immediately and is based on recommendations from local fire chiefs and county emergency management. They said this burn ban is the result of continued dry and unseasonably hot weather conditions. Officials noted that future weather forecasts indicate no change in the current pattern which has created an extreme danger of wildfires that pose high risks for the county’s residents, emergency services personnel and their resources.
