Fires Continue Dispite Burn Ban

BOONE, Iowa---Boone County Fire Departments have been very busy in recent days, dealing with numerous grass fires and even a couple of structure fires. The State Fire Marshall issued a ban on open burning in Boone County Tuesday. Even with that, the Boone Fire Department reported three grass fires and the Ogden Fire Department had yet another barn fire late Tuesday night. The Boone Fire Department did respond to help with that fire. It was the second structure fire in less than a week for the Ogden Department, and that doesn't include the grass fires they handled. Burn Bans are in place for Boone and Story Counties.
