SALINA — The Saline County Commission has lifted the ban on open burning in the county. The commission imposed the ban on March 18 due to the extremely dry conditions.

Rainfall from one to 2 inches fell in Saline County from Sunday into early Monday easing the danger of open fires getting out of control.

A burn permit is required for burning for pastures and fires, and can be obtained from the Saline County Emergency Management Office or at saline.org.
