With the recent rain is there any chance of the ban being lifted in Gibson County?

Josh- it doesn't matter if you have 10 water hoses and fire extinguishers. It is extremely dry and you are risking setting other people's personal property on fire. Are you that selfish that you can't wait till the ban is lifted? Lighting fireworks under extreme dry conditions is not being safe or smart.... no matter how you do it.
