GLASGOW — Burn bans in Barren and Hart counties were lifted Monday.

Barren County issued a ban on July 5 due to drought conditions in the region. Hart County followed the next day in its ban declaration.

“Should any resident have a need for a control burn, they should report this to the Barren-Metcalfe Emergency Communications Center Dispatch,” according to an email from Sherry Jones, the Barren County Fiscal Court clerk.

Both counties said recent rains enabled the drought conditions to dissipate.

Contact dispatch at (270) 651-1175.
