Due to the rain received Sunday and overnight, Russell County Judge Executive Gary D. Robertson has lifted the county-wide burn ban effective immediately. If dry conditions return, the burn ban could be reinstated, but as of now it is lifted. Please remember the county still follows the state’s Fall burning guidelines which states you can only burn outside between the hours of 6pm till 6am and must be 150 feet away from a wooded area. Judge Robertson thanks you for your cooperation and should you have any questions, please contact the Judge’s office at 270-343-2112.
