🚨 Burn Ban Enacted for Gillespie County 🚨
The Gillespie County Commissioners Court has enacted a burn ban. All open burning is prohibited in the unincorporated areas of Gillespie County, except for burning in approved enclosures like trash barrels with a mesh cover and charcoal grills.
🔥 Why the Ban? Due to dry conditions and lack of significant rainfall, open burning poses a severe wildfire risk, endangering lives and property.
⚠️ Penalties: Violating this order is a Class C misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of up to $500.
