• Barbour County Office of Emergency Management is once again reminding people to remember that No Burning Law is still in effect. Earlier this week, local fire departments had to fight two separate brush fires - one on Rt 57 and one on Rt 92. Please be mindful as arid conditions and high winds are making perfect combination for quick spread of wildfires.
