Ellis County Fire Department
Per Ellis County Resolution 2017-4, the Ellis County Fire Department is announcing the relaxation of the temporary burn ban in all the unincorporated areas of Ellis County, effective immediately.
The burn ban was implemented due to the increasing temperatures, lower levels of humidity, and a long spell without significant measurable moisture.
Although Ellis County has not received the forecasted amount of rainfall throughout the county, the ban is being lifted due to the changing conditions.
If the drought continues with the summer temperatures, the burn ban may be implemented again later in the summer.
