Burn Ban Information
Notice of Burn Ban
McLennan County is NOT currently a burn ban. The Burn Ban was lifted by the County Judge on October 26, 2025.
However, McLennan County does have a Red Flag Warning Burn Ban order in place. A Red Flag Warning Burn Ban Order bans any burning in the unincorporated areas of the county ONLY when a Red Flag Warning has been issued by the National Weather Service.
A Red Flag Warning means warm temperatures, very low humidities, and stronger winds are expected to combine to produce an increased risk of fire danger.
Control Burn Information
When planning a control burn, check to see what color flag is flying at the Fire Station. A Red flag indicates a burn ban is in effect and a Green flag indicates clear to burn. Always report control burns by calling the McLennan County Sheriff's Office non-emergency line at (254) 757-5222. Remember, control burns must be down to ash by SUNDOWN.
