Clean air officials on Wednesday lifted a countywide burn ban after a change in weather improved air quality conditions.

The Southwest Clean Air Agency announced the Stage 1 ban on Tuesday afternoon after stagnant air patterns had lowered air quality.

The end of the ban means people can again use their wood stoves and fireplaces, and burn outdoors where allowed.

Expected rain, improved ventilation and warmer temperatures should maintain good to moderate air quality in the coming days, according to the clean air agency.
