The City of Jasper has announced an order restricting outdoor burning within the city. The ban, which prohibits all outdoor burning, in any form or fashion, was signed into effect, shortly after 2:00, on Tuesday afternoon, by Mayor Mike Lout, following discussions with City fire marshal Robert Matheson and others.
The ban will be in effect for seven days, unless it is extended by a vote of the Jasper City Council.
Violation of the burn ban is a class c misdemeanor crime, punishable by a fine of up to $500.00.
The ban was reportedly brought about due to the extremely dry conditions that have prevailed over the last few days, resulting in the high danger of fire.
