Hays Post

Butch Post, coordinator of Rooks County Emergency Management, told Hays Post on Tuesday the burn ban in Rooks County has been lifted by the Rooks County commissioners.

But Post noted individuals need to call the Rooks County Sheriff’s Office before burning. The office can be reached at (785) 425-6312.

A burn ban remains in effect in much of the region, including Ellis, Russell, Osborne and Trego counties.
