A burn ban is issued for the City of Danville effective 8:00 am Thursday, June 22, 2023.
The burn ban does not apply to charcoal or gas grills used for cooking, although extra safety precautions should be taken.
According to U.S. Drought Monitor for Illinois, our area is experiencing severe drought conditions, in addition to a high fire danger index rating. The current and future weather forecast models include conditions that are not favorable to open burning.
Because of these conditions, Danville Fire Officials recommend individuals avoid using personal fireworks.
The burn ban will remain in place until further notice.
