Commissioners Extend Outdoor Burning Prohibition Citing Dry Conditions

Feb 24, 2026

Guadalupe County extended its outdoor burning prohibition after the fire marshal reported dry conditions and a high volume of agricultural burn permit requests; the ban can be lifted if conditions improve.

The full story

Guadalupe County’s emergency management coordinator and fire marshal told commissioners the current burn ban (set to expire March 3) should be extended due to ongoing dry conditions and heightened fire risk. The court approved an order to prohibit outdoor burning and noted agricultural permits will continue to be issued and reviewed on a case‑by‑case basis.
