Gov. Joe Manchin has banned outdoor burning in the eight counties of West Virginia's Eastern Panhandle.

Dry conditions prompted the governor to prohibit burning starting at 8 a.m. Tuesday.

The ban continues until the governor lifts it.

The prohibition includes fires built for camping, burning trash or for warming purposes. Affected counties are Berkeley, Grant, Hampshire, Hardy, Jefferson, Mineral, Morgan and Pendleton.
