These types of conditions are ideal for the creation of flash fires. Multiple firefighting agencies were called out Monday evening to battle a large field fire in Gibson County Indiana. about 15 to 20 acres of land caught fire between Somerville and Oakland City. A cause is not known. Due to the dry conditions, four southwestern Indiana counties have implemented outdoor burn bans-Gibson, Warrick, Vanderburgh and Spencer. No burn bans issued yet in southeastern Illinois.
