8/4/26: Hill County Commissioners order a 60 day burn ban

This morning in Commissioners Court the Hill County Commissioners ordered a 60 day burn ban.

The order prohibits outdoor activities that produce flames or sparks that could start a fire, including the reckless disposal of burning materials. Violations are a Class C misdemeanor and may result in a fine of up to $500.

Outdoor cooking is still allowed when:
• It is attended at all times by a responsible person
• A way to call 911 is available
• A fire extinguisher or pressurized water source is kept nearby

Welding, cutting, and grinding may continue under specific safety requirements, including:
• Winds of 20 mph or less
• A dedicated fire watch
• Access to 911
• A fire extinguisher or pressurized water source on site

The burn ban will remain in effect for up to 60 days unless it is lifted earlier by the County Judge or Commissioners Court.

Please use extreme caution and help protect our residents, firefighters, and property.
