The Osco Andover Fire Department will be initiating a burn ban for Friday, March 14 for the Osco Andover Fire Protection District. No outdoor burning will be allowed.
The NWS has put into effect a high wind advisory and a fire weather watch for Friday as well. Winds forecasted over 50 mph with warm temperatures and low humidity will create hazardous fire conditions. Fires can get out of control and spread very quickly, putting personal property in danger and making it very difficult for firefighters to control and extinguish.
