High Winds Put the Big Country on High Alert

While several inches of rain saturated the ground last weekend, most counties lifted their burn ban, making way for hundreds of control burns.

Many controlled burns are ridding farmers and ranchers of debris scorched by the extra long fire season.

Local fire departments want people to know that they should be notified before lighting any fires.
