🔥 Burn Ban Reinstated for Comal County
Effective Friday, August 21 at 6:00 AM, the burn ban is back in effect for unincorporated areas of Comal County. Our KBDI (drought index) sits at 553 today and is climbing roughly ten points a day, so conditions are getting drier by the hour.
During the burn ban, the following are NOT allowed:
Brush fires
Campfires
Burn barrels
Fire pits and rings
Any other open flame
The only exception is a BBQ pit that is off the ground and has a lid to contain sparks and flames, and those are for cooking purposes only.
Please help us keep Comal County safe. One spark in these conditions can spread fast.
