How can I find out if a burn ban is in effect?
We attempt to make every effort to let the public know a burn ban is in place. This is done by contacting local media, placing signs throughout the county, and using this website's emergency alerts system. Additionally, we have started placing signs on county vehicles during a burn ban. View the following website to see which counties have bans in place.Texas Forest Service
