9/1/26 10:00 AM - Hill County Commissioners Court declared a local disaster, restricting outdoor burning and fireworks

This morning in Commissioners Court, the Hill County Judge declared a local disaster, and Commissioners Court ratified the declaration valid for 60 days unless rescinded. This declaration restricts outdoor burning in the unincorporated portions of the County and restricts the use of fireworks in Hill County. This decision was made based on the fact that our KBDI has reached 710, and we have responded to 35 grass fires since August 1st, with over 25 of those being in the last 14 days. While we do have rain in the forecast, it is not forecasted to be an appreciable amount to bring us out of drought conditions currently.

For purposes of this Order, “outdoor burning” includes, but is not limited to:

1. The burning of brush, grass, leaves, trees, limbs, trash, debris, rubbish, or other combustible material outdoors;
2. Campfires, bonfires, recreational fires, and other open fires; and
3. Fires contained within a barrel, hopper, pit, container, or other enclosure or semi-enclosure when used for the purpose of burning combustible material.

The prohibited fireworks include:

1. Bottle rockets and other skyrockets with sticks;
2. Missiles with fins;
3. Ground blooms; and
4. Other similar fireworks that, because of their design, operation, sparks, flame, or movement, present an extraordinary risk of igniting dry grass, vegetation, or other combustible material.

Please read the full order here: share.hilloemtx.gov/disasterdec090126

Please Note: The restriction on fireworks is only valid for 60 hours unless extended by Governor Abbott. An extension has been requested, and a new post will be made once a response has been received.
