OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Gov. Mary Fallin has removed another 22 counties from state-issued burn bans.
The governor's office said Thursday that 33 counties were still under state burn bans and three remained under county burn bans.
Fallin says the long-term
forecast shows continued drought conditions but that the wildfire risk
has lessened because of recent rain.
Counties to remain under
the state burn bans are: Beaver, Beckham, Carter, Cimarron, Comanche,
Cotton, Ellis, Garfield, Garvin, Greer, Harmon, Harper, Haskell,
Jackson, Jefferson, Kay, Kiowa, Latimer, Le Flore, Love, McCurtain,
Murray, Noble, Osage, Pawnee, Payne, Pontotoc, Stephens, Texas, Tillman,
Washita, Woods and Woodward. County Commissioner bans are in effect for
Creek, McClain and Pittsburg counties.
