Stephens County Commissioners implement burn ban

Wed, 09/18/2019 - 12:00 pm

The County Commissioners Court unanimously agreed to renew the Burn Ban after Chief Calvin Chaney spoke to the group on Monday, Sept. 9.

Chief Chaney spoke about a lot of activity in the previous week and cited four grass fires, one structure fire, and 13 total calls. He stated how three of the grass fires were caused by downed power lines, igniting the dry grass. The structure fire was at the lake on Saturday night, and Chaney spoke that the house had sustained a heavy fire but was structurally intact. He recommended the burn ban remaining in place.
