CITY, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) A burn ban is in effect for Barnes County until Friday, June 16th.

Barnes County Commission president Mike Metcalf said the burn ban will be evaluated on a daily basis and if no significant rainfall occurs it would be extended further pending a vote by the full commission.

Tender dry conditions and high wind have pushed the fire danger index into the high category for Barnes County and many other counties across North Dakota.
