New County Information
On April 15 the Shackelford County Commissioners voted to remove the ban on burning for the time being. It had been scheduled to end on May 8. However, since regular windy days have subsided and the ground and fuel moisture remain at acceptable levels, the court wants to allow residents of the County (particularly in the unincorporated areas) the opportunity to dispose of some of the accumulated brushy vegetation resultant from property and range clearing. It would be a good idea to consider this a window of opportunity before the inevitably dryer times soon to come. Please take care, be considerate of your neighbors and contact the Sheriff's office to alert them to your actions ahead of time so that they will know how to respond to reports coming from your area.
