After a series of reports and calls for field fires across Putnam County this week, Clinton Township Fire Chief Tony Camp is asking residents in the township to refrain from any outdoor burning through at least the end of today. 

Camp told The Putnam County Post fires have been spread out lately. 

"Luckily, we haven't had any here. I am just trying to keep our streak going," Camp said. 

Camp said leaves are falling and covering the ground, and the wind gusts Putnam County has seen are a combination for disaster. 

"The wind gusts are very strong, and all it would take is for the gust to blow hot embers out and land on the dried leaves and the next thing you know, it is out of control. The farmers are out getting the corn and beans and all the dust and shucks are flying through the air. To me, it is a recipe for out of control fires," Camp said. 

Camp admitted all the elements are there for woodland fires, but he hopes one element comes out above the others. 

"I think everyone has common sense and wouldn't do open burning right now," Camp said. 

Camp said the advisory, which went into effect Monday, will remain through today.

"By looking at the forecast, winds are supposed to die down and there is a good chance of rain in the evening," Camp said.
