A fire in the Mark Twain National Forest scorched more than 1,500 acres. A fire chief in Eureka advised the public not to burn anything outside, given the dry conditions.
Conditions were too dry to carry out controlled burns that would normally take place at this time of year, according to an employee with Missouri Botanical Garden’s Shaw Nature Reserve.
