Court leaves county burn ban in place amid dry conditions
Summary
Commissioners acknowledged dry conditions and decided to keep an existing burn ban in place; no formal extension action taken at the meeting.
Calhoun County Commissioners Court on Feb. 24 left the county's burn ban in place, citing persistent dry conditions.
Commissioners and staff discussed that the burn ban remains active and that, per local procedure, burn bans are reviewed every 90 days; the last renewal was in January. No motion was made to lift the ban, and the court took no formal action to change the status.
Officials warned residents to exercise caution with debris and roadside burns and said they will continue to monitor weather and fire conditions.
