Jasper, Sabine & Tyler County End A Near Nine Month Burn Ban
Officials in Jasper County announced on Tuesday that after reviewing the amount of rain received earlier in the day a decision had been made to drop the ban on all burning in the county. The decision allows resident to burn trash and yard debris as needed and also allows individuals to have camp fires. The move comes after months of prohibiting such fires due to the extreme drought conditions that have existed. On Tuesday, Jasper and the surrounding area received anywhere from 1.36 to 1.5 inches of rainfall as a line of thunderstorms moved through the area. Officials in both Tyler and Sabine Counties also lifted the ban on burning there on Tuesday morning. The ban on burning in nearby Newton County ended last week. Citizens are urged to be aware of the dangers associated with burning.
