LaSalle has issued a ban throughout the municipality on open air burning due to the extremely dry weather conditions and forecasted high winds in the area.
The fire service declared the ban Thursday, effective immediately, saying the hot, dry windy conditions constitute a “high risk.”
All forms of open-air fires are prohibited including campfires, chimineas, outdoor fireplaces, fire pits, brush fires and agricultural fires.
Anyone caught with an open-air fire will be fined.
The ban is in effect until further notice.
