Burn ban in effect for Oklahoma County
OKLAHOMA COUNTY, Okla. — As dry conditions and high temperatures persist across much of the state, a burn ban is now in effect for Oklahoma County.
On Wednesday, the Oklahoma County Board of County Commissioners enacted a county-wide burn ban due to the extreme fire danger.
Under the ban, it is illegal to set fire to any forest, grass, range, crop or other wildlands. Building a campfire or bonfire and burning trash or other material is also prohibited.
However, outdoor cooking in approved cooking appliances is allowed with caution.
Anyone who is caught violating the resolution will be guilty of a misdemeanor and could face a $500 fine and up to one year in prison.

The ban, which began on March 25, will remain in effect for 14 days.

Rapper and hip hop icon Snoop Dogg is set to produce and star in a feature film that will be shot in Oklahoma this year.
“God of the Rodeo” is based on a 1998 book from New York-based journalist and author Daniel Bergner, who reported on inmates competing in a controversial rodeo inside Louisiana’s Angola Prison in the 1960s. According to Deadline, the film centers around Bucckey, an inmate serving a life sentence who “finds a glimmer of redemption” through the rodeo. Snoop’s role has not yet been announced.
The film is directed by Rosalind Ross, who is best known for writing, directing and executive producing “Father Stu.” Snoop will produce alongside Sara Ramker, Giannina Scott and Ridley Scott, Deadline reports.
The Oklahoma Department of Commerce confirmed to News 9 on Friday “God of the Rodeo” was pre-approved for the state’s film incentive program through Oklahoma Film + Music.
Filming is scheduled in Oklahoma for June 15 through July 31, according to Oklahoma Film + Music’s website. The website also lists Tulsa-based production company Rebellium Films as working on the film. Filming locations have not been announced yet.
