🚨 7-DAY EMERGENCY BURN BAN — HOOD COUNTY 🚨
During the regularly scheduled August 11th Hood County Commissioners Court meeting, the Hood County Fire Marshal's Office requested a 7-day Emergency Burn Ban due to increasing wildfire concerns and continued dry conditions across the county.
🔥 Wildfire conditions are rapidly becoming more dangerous. With dry fuels, hot temperatures, and limited moisture, even a small fire can quickly become a serious incident.
We are asking everyone in our community to do their part:
🚫 Please refrain from all outdoor burning.
🔥 Do not burn trash, brush, or debris.
🌡️ Be especially cautious during the excessive heat.
🚒 Help us keep our firefighters out of unnecessary and preventable fires.
Our firefighters are ready to respond when you need us — but preventing a fire is always better than fighting one.
Please take this burn ban seriously, stay safe, stay hydrated, and help us protect Hood County and our surrounding communities.
One spark is all it takes.
🔥 Don’t be the reason we have to roll. 🚒
