BURN BAN IS ON! Currently extended to October 20, 2024

Welcome to Shackelford County, Texas.


New County Information

Update on burn ban: Shackelford County Commissioners acted on Monday, August 26, to extend the burn ban to October 20, 2024. Recent rain has mitigated the susceptibility of large amounts of range fuel to quickly burn out of control. Yet the fuel is still there and once enough heat is generated, even wet stuff will burn and burn quickly. As we go into the fall and winter months that growth will get more dry and consumable.
Though we have had a few opportunities for small brush piles to be burned safely when attended with a water source and/or other extinguishers, and prepared away from surrounding risk of spread, there is still a significant level of risk.
Your property and your neighbor's property are of primary concern and it should be noted that the burner is responsible for the results of their actions, WHETHER A BURN BAN IS IN EFFECT OR NOT. Getting permission from the County Judge to set an open fire and notifying the Sheriff's dispatcher does not alleviate one of that liability.
For the sake of you and your neighbors, please look for alternatives to fire for disposal.
