A prolonged stretch of hot, dry weather has prompted the enactment of a burn ban by Shelby County's Commissioners.
On Monday, the Shelby County Board of Commissioners enacted a county-wide burn ban. It became effective immediately for Shelby County due to the exceptionally dry conditions and the fact that Shelby County has not had any significant rainfall since Aug. 18.

The burn ban will be re-evaluated at the next Shelby County Commissioners meeting on Monday, October 2.
