Comanche County declares 14‑day burn ban as ‘extreme fire danger’ is proclaimed
Summary
The Comanche County Board of Commissioners approved an immediate 14‑day burn ban citing an "extreme fire danger," invoking authority in Oklahoma Statute Title 2 § 16‑26.B; the board said the ban may be extended week‑to‑week.
The Comanche County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously Feb. 23 to proclaim an "extreme fire danger" in Comanche County and impose a burn ban effective immediately for 14 days. Commissioner Josh Powers moved the resolution and Commissioners Ryan John and Johnny Owens voted to approve it.
The resolution cites Oklahoma Statute Title 2 § 16‑26.B and related subsections as the authority for the board's action. The motion description stated the ban "will be effective immediately for a period of fourteen (14) days with the possibility of extension on a week‑to‑week basis." County officials did not state a firm extension schedule during the meeting; any extension would be acted on by the board at a future session.
