From Texas A&M Forest Service

Very high to extreme wildfire danger continues across the state and Texans must stay vigilant in preventing wildfires. Always obey local burn bans and outdoor burning restrictions:

🔥 Wait to conduct any outdoor burning.
🔥 Avoid outdoor activities that may cause a spark such as welding, grinding or using heavy machinery.
🔥 Stay up to date on weather conditions and always use extreme caution.

While county burn ban orders are established by county judges and/or county commissioners' courts, Texas A&M Forest Service maintains updated information and displays burn bans as a public service. Check your county's burn ban status at: https://tfsweb.tamu.edu/TexasBurnBans/
