Fayette County Burn Ban Reinstated

The Fayette County Commissioners Court held an emergency meeting this morning to re-instate the burn ban.

The ban expired on March 8, and the Court met last Friday to consider putting it back in place. They ultimately decided to keep the ban lifted, but the vote was 4-1 with Pct. 3 Commissioner Harvey Berckenhoff voting against it. Berckenhoff said several of his constituents thought it was still too dry and windy, and they wanted the Court to put the burn ban back in place.

At this morning’s meeting, Fayette County Emergency Management Coordinator Angela Hahn said local fire departments responded to five fires that had gotten out of control on Friday and another four to five over the weekend.

Early this morning, a tree fell on a power line in the Warda area and sparked a 40-acre wildfire. That fire is still burning. However, County Judge Dan Mueller noted at this morning’s meeting that the Court’s decision on Friday would not have affected the situation in Warda.

The Weimar VFD was paged to the 200 block of North Eagle street for a structure fire at 1:22 pm today. Upon arrival, the first arriving officer found the single story wood frame structure fully engulfed in flames. The Columbus Volunteer Fire Department was called upon for an additional pumper and manpower. Firefighters worked frantically to bring the blaze under control. Strong north winds and heavy smoke made it difficult to attack but firefighters managed to bring it in check. Everyone that was inside the structure at the time the fire broke out managed to escape with one minor injury due to a fall. The structure was a total loss. Big thanks to the Columbus Volunteer Fire Department for responding with extra manpower, Colorado County EMS, Weimar PD, Colorado County Sheriffs office, DPS, City of Weimar utilities.
