Knox County Indiana is now under a burn ban. Late last week the County Commissioners declared a state of emergency due to the extremely dry conditions due to a lack of rain. The declaration states that open burning of any kind using conventional fuel such as wood and other combustibles is prohibited and the use of burn barrells for open residential burning is also prohibited till further notice. Knox joins 3 other southwestern Indiana counties-Daviess, Martin and Sullivan who are also under burn bans.
