Commissioners initiated the ban June 28 for the unincorporated areas of the county due to severe drought conditions.
The Fire Marshal’s Office asks that anyone planning to do an outdoor burn to contact the county’s Fire Alarm Center at 817-232-9800 to confirm that the day of their burn is an allowable burn day. The center is open 24/7.
Outdoor burning is not allowed at night or if wind speeds are greater than 23 mph, according to the office.
Outdoor burns must also be downwind and at least 300 feet from structures on adjacent properties, the office stated.
Anyone wanting to report an illegal outdoor burn may call the Fire Alarm Center at 817-232-9800 or the Tarrant County Sheriff’s Office at 817-884-1315.
