🔥 BURN BAN IN EFFECT – GALVESTON COUNTY 🔥
A Burn Ban is currently in effect, and it’s important that everyone understands what that means — especially those of us in the unincorporated areas of Galveston County, including the Bolivar Peninsula.
This is put in effect by the Galveston County Commissioners court, not the Fire Department.
🚫 The burn ban restricts outdoor burning. This means no burning brush, leaves, trash, debris, or other combustible materials outdoors.
🔥 Please don’t assume that a small fire is a safe fire. With dry conditions, one spark can quickly spread into grass, dunes, fields, or nearby property.
🏖️ If you’re on the Bolivar Peninsula, remember that Galveston County also specifically lists NO BONFIRES in its beach rules. (Galveston County)
⚠️ A burn ban does not mean “no fire of any kind” in every circumstance. Certain activities may have different rules or exceptions, so if you are unsure whether something is allowed, check with Galveston County or your local fire department before lighting it.
Please help protect our homes, property, firefighters, and community.
When in doubt — don’t burn. 🔥🚫
