(AP) -- JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) -- Campfires once again will be allowed at Missouri conservation areas, thanks to rain from the remnants of Tropical Storm Isaac. The Missouri Department of Conservation had issued a fire ban in June for its public properties because of the hot, dry summer. But the department has now lifted that burn ban for all of the nearly 1,000 conservation areas that it manages. The department says managers of conservation areas still could re-impose bans for specific sites, if they believe the fire danger is too high.
