A burning ban has been issued for the City of Danville and will be in effect until 8 a.m. Wednesday. Warm temperatures, gusty south winds, low relative humidity, and dry vegetation will create conditions favorable for the rapid spread and growth of fire. Strong gusty winds of 30-40 mph will persist through Wednesday.
The burn ban does not apply to charcoal or gas grills used for cooking, although extra safety precautions should be taken.
