New County Information
"On November 24, 2025, Shackelford County Commissioners voted not to reinstate the Burn Ban which had been issued in August and scheduled to end October 19, 2025. Moisture received in the last few days provides a window of opportunity for local residents to burn some debris when needed. Caution is always to be exercised, of course. There is still ample fuel out there and it only becomes more flammable as the winter dries it out. Be sure to notify the Sheriff's Office when you plan to burn anything that might create smoke to be seen by your neighbors. That way the dispatcher will have more information with which to take action (or not) when reports come in.
