All Osage County burn permits have been suspended for today, Sunday, Dec. 10, 2017, per Osage County Emergency Management. The agency has declared this as a “no burn day”, during which no outside burning is allowed.

The National Weather Service has predicted a sunny day, with a high near 59 and northwest wind 10 to 15 mph with gusts as high as 20 mph, causing very high fire danger. Very high fire danger means fire control will be very difficult and require extended effort.

The burn ban will expire at 8 a.m. Dec. 11, 2017, unless extended.
