Phillips County Sheriffs Log for week of June 4

May 16 thru May 23

Please remember to file a new burn permit for the 2014 year. If you plan on doing any burning in 2014, please file one BEFORE you start to burn. These permits are good for all of 2014 and you only have to file one a year, not every time you burn. All 2013 permits will no longer be valid after December 31, 2013. Thank you!
