New County Information
The Shackleford County Commissioners voted on November 12th 2024 to suspend the current burn ban that was set to expire on December 4th. Due to much needed rain we have a reprieve in our conditions. The Keetch-Bryam drought index places are county at a very low risk for wild fire. That doesn't mean, of course, that we can't have one, just for the next little while, conditions are favorable with low wind for open burning where necessary. Do not forget that you bear personal responsibility for open fires that you initially set, and that the Sheriff's Office must be contacted prior to the event.
