The Kanawha County Commission lifted the burn ban Wednesday as the Kanawha Valley experienced much-needed rainfall. Outdoor burning in Kanawha County is permitted through Monday as West Virginia’s forest fire season begins Oct. 1. Daytime burning is then prohibited for the remainder of the year. Burning trash is prohibited and officials encourage area residents to utilize county cleanups to dispose of debris, recyclables and unwanted appliances. The season’s final cleanup event is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 5 in from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 15127 MacCorkle Avenue in Cabin Creek.
