OUTDOOR BURN BAN IN EFFECT
Fort Bend County Commissioner’s Court approved an outdoor burn ban for unincorporated areas of the county during a regular scheduled session of court, Tuesday, August 8, 2023.
As the extreme heat continues and drought conditions progress, the risk for fire dangers increase. The Fort Bend County Fire Marshal’s Office has been monitoring the Keetch-Bryam Drought Index which is used in determining forest fire potential. The drought index is based on a daily water balance, where a drought factor is balanced with precipitation and soil moisture. The drought index ranges from 0 to 800, where a drought index of 0 represents no moisture depletion, and an index of 800 represents absolutely dry conditions. As of today, August 8, 2023, Fort Bend County’s index was 651.
After presentation of index values and the continued forecast of extreme heat with no rain, Commissioner’s Court came to a consensus that circumstances present in the county can potentially create a public safety hazard. The Declaration and Order Prohibiting Outdoor Burning in Fort Bend County states that no person burn or order another to burn any material outside of an enclosure designed to contain and capable of containing all flames, sparks, embers, cinders and ash produced by burning. Therefore, limits the use of open flames which includes burning trash, campfires, using burn barrels and any other open flame devices.

CVFD RESPONDS TO COMMERCIAL MULCH FIRE
Around 3 PM yesterday, CVFD received a call for a large mulch fire at "The Ground Up" on FM1093 just east of Grand Mission Boulevard. The fire impacted multiple large mulch piles and on-site equipment. The fire also began to spread to to the grass behind the property. With the help of many agencies, we were able to surround and contain the fire and prevent it from spreading any further.
Fires on this stretch of FM1093 pose unique challenges because of the lack of fire hydrants in the area. Our firefighters laid over 1500 feet of supply line to connect to the nearest hydrant. We are also very thankful for mutual aid water tanker assistance from surrounding agencies.
A special thanks to our mutual aid companies:
Northeast Fort Bend County Fire Department
Harris County ESD 48 Fire Department
