BURN BAN IN EFFECT!!!
We have had several recent calls for burns that have gotten out of control. Please note that we are currently under a burn ban. You can get the up-to-the-minute status by calling Sheriffs Dispatch at 830-796-3771
A burn ban means no outdoor burning is allowed, except in an enclosure that contains all flames and/or sparks. Non-commercial cooking, such as backyard cookouts and barbeques, are still allowed. Any outdoor welding and/or other “hot work” must be performed in accordance with fire code requirements.
