Atmore issues no burn ordinance within city
Atmore Fire &Rescue chief Gerry McGhee has issued a no burn ordinance for those within the city limits until further notice.
McGhee said the main factor in issuing the ordinance was because the city hasn't had any substantial rain in several weeks.
"It's going to be real dry, we're trying to be on the safe side," McGhee said. "We don't want anybody to lose any property"
