***BURN BAN IS IN EFFECT FOR BOSQUE COUNTY***
Bosque County is now under a Burn Ban.
🔥 BOSQUE COUNTY BURN BAN IN EFFECT 🔥
As of 8/17/2026 @ 9:22am for 90days from this date and time issuance.
The Bosque County Commissioners Court has placed Bosque County under a Burn Ban due to the continued hot, dry conditions and increased fire danger.
🚫 Outdoor burning is prohibited in the unincorporated areas of Bosque County.
DO NOT BURN:
🔥 Brush or brush piles
🔥 Leaves, grass, or yard debris
🔥 Trash or household waste
🔥 Other outdoor debris or combustible material
⚠️ PLEASE USE EXTREME CAUTION
Even activities that are not specifically prohibited by the burn ban can start a wildfire under our current conditions. Please:
• Secure trailer chains and wires so they do not drag and create sparks.
• Properly dispose of ci******es — never throw them out of a vehicle window.
• Use extra caution when welding, grinding, mowing dry grass, or operating equipment that could create sparks.
Our vegetation is extremely dry, and with temperatures exceeding 100°F, it does not take much for a small spark to become a rapidly spreading fire.
🚒 Please remember that the majority of our firefighters in Bosque County are VOLUNTEERS. Every preventable fire puts these men and women, our residents, livestock, homes, and property at unnecessary risk.
Please help us protect Bosque County. One spark is all it takes. ❤️
📞 To report a violation, contact the Bosque County Sheriff's Office non-emergency line at (254) 435-2363.
