Camden County lifts burn ban a week early
CAMDENTON, Mo — A week after issuing a burn ban, the county announced it is lifting its ban.
For much of mid-March, firefighters in the Camden County area were busy battling wildfires that broke out. Dry and windy conditions fueled several wildfires that kept multiple departments busy. Emergency Management Director John Scheper told Ozarks First an estimated 2,500 to 3,500 acres burned.
On March 18th, a ban on burning was put into place until April 1st.
On Tuesday, the Camden County Commission signed a notice revoking that order as of midnight on March 25:
Before the ban was put in place, over two dozen structures had been damaged, and over 30 vehicles, including boats, have been caught in the flames. Several homes were evacuated, and fires had sparked on both sides of Highway 54. At one point, the Camden County Commission declared a state of emergency.
With calmer winds expected Wednesday, humidity increasing, and low chances for rain forecast over the next few days in the area, fire danger is suppressed. However, the Missouri Division of Fire Safety offers some tips for safe burning here.

Fuel up: Keep your tank at three-quarters full. Running out of gas, especially in a remote location, is dangerous in extreme heat. Hydrate: Take a cooler to keep extra drinking water cold, and consider adding several frozen bottles of water to use for cooling off or to thaw and drink if needed. Make sure everyone, including pets, stays hydrated. Get help: If your vehicle breaks down in extreme heat, call for assistance right away to reduce wait time, and run the AC. If the AC isn't working, roll down all windows. Wait safely: If the temperature inside your vehicle becomes too hot, everyone, including pets, should exit carefully and seek out or create a shaded area as far away from the travel lanes as possible. Be careful walking on the road surface, which can be hot enough to burn skin. Keep your shoes on and try to keep your pets' paws off the pavement. If you are stopped along the highway, raise the front hood and turn on hazard lights. Please keep in mind that parking in tall brush can start a fire. Check your vehicle: You can help avoid breakdowns and blowouts by making sure your vehicle is in good operating condition. Check your air conditioner and coolant levels, top off any vital engine fluids and make sure your battery is up to par. Check your tire pressure, as the combination of under inflated tires and hot pavement can lead to a blowout. MORE:
