CONTROLLED BURN IN OTTUMWA TUESDAY

Controlled burn in Ottumwa Tuesday

You might be seeing heavy smoke near the recycling center in Ottumwa Tuesday afternoon (4/13).  If weather permits, after 4pm, Ottumwa Fire, Wapello County Rural Fire, Wapello County Conservation and Wapello County Emergency Management will hold a controlled burn of natural vegetation between 120th Avenue and the Des Moines River next to the Grey Eagle Wildlife Preserve.  Wapello County Sheriff Tim Richmond tells the No Coast Network that residents of that area have given permission for the controlled burn.  You’re asked to stay away from that area.  Again, that’s between 120th Avenue and the Des Moines River next to the Grey Eagle Wildlife Preserve in Ottumwa.
