MENTOR, Ohio — The Mentor Fire Department announced on Thursday afternoon that recreational fires are temporarily banned due to high winds and dry conditions that have already sparked several brush and leaf fires, according to a Facebook post from the department.

Other fire departments in Lake County have been busy doing the same,” the post said.In Perry, the fire department responded to a call around 8 a.m. of leaves burning on the side of the road. The hydrant sat across Main Street, forcing the road to close for a bit. Main Street has since reopened.

At about 5 p.m., another brush fire in Macedonia closed Shepard Road between SR-82 and Deepwood Drive.Replay: News 5 at 6 Download the News 5 Cleveland app now for more stories from us, plus alerts on major news, the latest weather forecast, traffic information and much more.
