Harris County Commissioners Court approved a burn ban Tuesday, Oct. 26, following the lead of Montgomery County officials who announced a burn ban effective Oct. 25. Due to an increased threat of wildfires there are now 67 Texas counties with burn bans in effect, including Harris, Chambers, Grimes, Liberty, Montgomery, and Waller counties.
No outdoor burning is allowed except in an enclosure which contains all flames and/or sparks, outdoor burning activities authorized by TCEQ, ceremonial fires, non-commercial cooking, and prescribed “hot work”. Backyard cook-outs and barbecues are also allowed, as is welding and other “hot work” performed in accordance with county fire code requirements.
