A lack of significant rainfall forced a central Illinois fire department to issue a burn advisory.
Fire departments across Richland County issued the advisories due to continued dry and windy conditions.
The Olney Fire Department took to Facebook on Friday, urging residents to use caution when burning leaves, branches, or other materials.
If you decide to do a controlled burn, make sure the fire is supervised and fully extinguished, according to Richland County Fire Officials.
