GIRARD, Kan. — The Crawford County Commission on Tuesday lifted a burn ban that had been in place for nearly two months. “If we wanted to end the burn ban, I think we should recommend that individuals that are wishing to burn please contact their fire department and make sure that they’re aware of it, maybe even the sheriff’s department, put them on notice that you’re going to burn a field or a brush pile or something that could get out of hand,” County Counselor Jim Emerson said in opening the discussion of the burn ban. The county commissioners originally issued the burn ban at their July 22 meeting.
