New County Information
Update on burn ban: Shackelford County Commissioners acted on Monday, July 22, to extend the burn ban to September 5, 2024. Due to residual green growth from earlier rains and citizen vigilance, we have been blessed with few fire outbreaks, and those were brought under control by quick action by local fire fighting organizations. Heading into August we can expect most of that green to dry out and contribute to a heavy fuel mixture. Please remain careful and proactive in the effort to prevent ANY fire that could potentially get out of control during these next couple of months.
Pray for rain.
