A burn ban continues statewide, but effective Tuesday, Governor Mary Fallin says there are two exemptions to that burn ban.
Governor Fallin says her decision was made in consultation with Oklahoma Forestry Services based on existing wildfire fuel conditions and the ongoing drought.
"I understand the length of this burn ban has made it difficult for some, particularly our agriculture producers," said Fallin. "Therefore, exemptions are being added to allow for the use of fire under very specific, controlled conditions. Existing exemptions, including those related to grilling, road construction, welding and oilfield operations, will remain in place."
To apply for the exemptions, you must fill at the appropriate forms which are linked here.
