Kenkel says grass fires have been a problem in the last few days across the state, including several fires this morning.Kenkel has this request of those who might burn off a ditch, or just burn garbage, he urges you to be cautious and check with local officials before you burn. The burn ban in Clinton County took effect at noon today.
