Heat and weeks of dry weather led officials in Evansville to declare a ban on open burning for the city and also for Vanderburgh County. Between July 1 and July 5, there were 19 grass and brush fires within the city limits, some of them stemming from the use of fireworks. The ban will remain until substantial rain falls.
Posey, Spencer and Washington counties also have burn bans.
