No burn ban in Kings continues

FRESNO -- Kings County continues today with fireplace wood-burning prohibited.

The San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District again prohibited burning in Kings, along with Tulare County and the Valley-portion of Kern County. The region has been in a no-burn status most of the past week, which has also featured record-high seasonal temperatures.

The ban is in effect until midnight. A new notice for Saturday's wood-burning status is available today after 4 p.m. on-line at www.valleyair.org/aqinfo/WoodBurnPage.htm.
