Sorry about the late notice. We found out this morning.
🔥 BURN BAN UPDATE: Comal County Burn Ban Reinstated
With dry conditions returning and our Keetch-Byram Drought Index (KBDI) climbing to 557, Comal County will reinstate the burn ban effective tomorrow, Friday, October 23, at 6 a.m.
As a reminder, Comal County reinstates the burn ban when the KBDI reaches 500 or higher. The index measures how dry the ground and vegetation are, helping us determine the potential for wildfires.
We know many residents have been taking advantage of the recent break in restrictions, but conditions have changed, and we want everyone to stay safe.
