Johnson County’s Commissioners voted to amend their recently-enacted partial fire restrictions during their meeting Tuesday.
Although it isn’t a huge change, it does affect some restrictions implemented in the county in June concerning the discharge of fireworks and all outdoor fires: campfires at residences or campsites; trash or refuse fires; charcoal fires; the use of acetylene cutting, electric arc welders, or metal grinding; and the use of portable stoves and lanterns.
The major change is the requirement to clear an area with a minimum of a 15-foot cleared radius of burnable materials for these activities as opposed to a ten-foot radius as in the previous Resolution.
