[ARCHIVED] Burn Ban Lifted

Presentation1

Notice: The temporary outdoor burn ban in Ellis County has now been lifted.

Today (April 19th), the Fire Marshal reported an adequate reduction in the number of fire incidents, and commissioners rescinded the burn ban that has been in effect since January 25th.

Outdoor burning is once again permitted as long as it conforms to the statewide rules enforced by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, which can be viewed here: https://www.tceq.texas.gov/assets/public/comm_exec/pubs/rg/rg-049.pdf. 

The Fire Marshal urges everyone to practice safe burning techniques and will be available to answer any questions or concerns at 972-825-5555.
