Lexington's outdoor burning ban has been lifted, officials announced Thursday.
Permits still are required from the fire department for all fires that are not in a contained area, such as an outdoor fireplace or fire pit. Questions should be directed to Fire Marshal James Branham at 859-231-5602.
The ban was imposed Sept. 26 because lack of rain had created extremely dry conditions.
An affiliate of The Nature Conservancy has bought 100,000 acres of forest land in Kentucky and Tennessee with plans to use it for sustainable forestry, jobs and protection of wildlife habitat.
