Burn Ban & Fire Danger Tracker

Before you burn

Burn bans are local legal orders, usually adopted by a county judge or commissioners court. A fire-danger rating is a separate assessment of how readily a fire may start and spread; it does not itself tell a resident whether outdoor burning is legally allowed. Check both the current county order and local fire department guidance before any outdoor burning. Restrictions may change after rain, wind shifts or a new county order.

Texas A&M Forest Service provides a statewide county burn-ban map and fire-danger products. Its observed fire-danger product reflects conditions at 1 p.m. and is published daily; the forecast products cover upcoming days. This page does not guess at Burnet or Llano status when the county order cannot be independently confirmed. For immediate questions, contact the relevant county office or fire authority.
