City of Benton under a burn ban

BENTON, IL – The City of Benton Burn Ordinance states that an automatic burn ban goes into effect when winds are over 10 mph or when put into effect by the Fire Chief during conditions unfavorable to burning.

Therefore, with conditions as such, we have placed the city under a burn ban effective 2 pm. Please be good neighbors and refrain from all burning until further notice.
