County renews burn ban through March 13; emergency management details cold-weather response
Summary
Brewster County renewed a burn ban through March 13 and emergency management described warming shelters, water deliveries and infrastructure checks after the recent storm.
Emergency management coordinator James asked the court to renew the county burn ban through March 13, 2026, and described proactive cold-weather response measures taken during the recent storm.
James said the office coordinated warming shelter operations, conducted roving patrols to check on at-risk residents, inspected power lines and delivered water pallets to affected communities. The court approved the burn ban renewal as presented.
Officials discussed examples of power-line arcing covered in ice and thanked staff and volunteers who hauled water to Terlingua. James reported there are roughly 4.5 pallets of water stockpiled for use in emergencies.
