>>Perry County Discourages Burning, No Burn Ban
(Perry County, PA) -- Officials in Perry County are strongly discouraging residents from open burning. The county Board of Commissioners released a statement urging residents to forgo outdoor burning like fires in burn barrels and fire rings. The commissioners say they will not implement a burn ban, as they do not have enough manpower to enforce it. That's because many local police departments in the county have disbanded.
