WACO, Texas (KWTX) – Bell County and Bosque County are the primary two within the space to carry their burn bans that went into impact again in June, this yr.
Bosque County lifted their ban on Monday whereas Bell County lifted their ban on Wednesday.
Now that outside burning is permitted for these county residents, officers are asking you’re taking precautionary motion earlier than you mild the match.
Bosque County alone noticed extra wildfires this summer time than they’ve for the previous 10 years.
After areas of Central Texas reported receiving one to 5 inches of rainfall over the previous week, metropolis officers noticed it as an excellent alternative to carry the burn ban.
“They want an opportunity to burn their trash. Many individuals within the county need to burn trash. They want an opportunity to clear the comb. So, we thought we’d give them that probability. This can be a good alternative,” mentioned Bosque County EMC, Kirk Turner.
Earlier than you burn, right here are some things to remember:
– Clearing a path across the fireplace will assist reduce the potential for unfold by wind or touring flames.
– All fires should be monitored by somebody when burning is energetic with water or an extinguisher close by.
– Anybody seeking to burn should name their sheriff’s workplace to offer a heads up.
“Should you don’t name in, and it’s authorized so that you can burn, then if another person sees the smoke, they name 911 and in the event that they don’t know you’re burning, we’re referred to as out to the scene,” mentioned Clifton volunteer firefighter, Lynne Dahl
Having these fireplace crews referred to as out for a managed burn not solely wastes assets however takes away within the occasion of an actual wildfire.
As rainfall continues, gas that might usually assist to develop a wildfire turns into moist making it more durable for these fires to begin and keep a burn.
For Bell and Bosque County, that is the principle cause for burn bans being lifted, however as these fuels dry, fireplace danger will improve.
“Placing a burn ban again in place now is just not as troublesome because it was earlier than. It’s not resisted by anybody. If it’s what must occur it’s what occurs and we’ll hold it in place so long as we predict it’s the correct factor to do,” mentioned Turner.
Bell County will revisit the burn ban through the subsequent commissioners courtroom assembly on September 6.
Bosque county will proceed to watch drought situations and climate patterns and reinstate the ban if deemed needed.

Texas Football: How to watch, stream and listen to No. 3 Longhorns vs. No. 20 Texas A&M Aggies
There might not be two rosters in America that are more familiar with one another than that of the Texas Longhorns and Texas A&M Aggies.
Between the two programs, there are 161 players from the state of Texas – the vast majority of whom played against at least one or multiple players on the other side in high school previously.
And as if that didn’t make the competition fierce enough, the Longhorns and Aggies will be facing off for the first time in 13 years this Saturday, with each of those players hoping to leave their mark on the rivalry.
That includes Aggies star linebacker Taurean York, who holds a personal vendetta against the Longhorns and cannot wait to see them on the field.
“I wanted the A&M offer,” York said Monday. “(Texas) stayed 50 minutes away from me. They came on a helicopter to see my best friend. … They weren’t paying me much attention. I didn’t invest too much in those guys anyways.”
York signed with Texas A&M as a three-star recruit out of Temple (TX), originally committing to Baylor before the Aggies offered late in the process.
Meanwhile, the Longhorns didn’t even extend the now-Aggies captain an offer, instead choosing to sign five other linebackers: five-star Anthony Hill, four-stars Derion Gullette, Leona Leafua, and Tasuli Akana, and three-star S’Maje Burrell.
And as York said over the summer, he took that personally.
“It’s personal, that’s all I have to say, it’s personal,” York said at SEC Media Days. “I don’t talk to anybody from Texas because it’s that personal to me. They didn’t recruit me and there are a lot of comparisons going on about me and Texas players. So I kinda put those rest in a sense.”
To be fair, the Longhorns hardly made a bad choice in the players they signed. Hill is arguably the best linebacker in the SEC, while Lefau is a key contributor and rising star on the defense. Not to mention, the Longhorns have high hopes for Akana and Gullette in the future.
In fact, only Burrell proved to be a bad investment by the Horns, after he was involved in an offseason drunk driving incident with former Longhorn T’Vondre Sweat, and was dismissed from the team.
Either way, York will now finally get his chance to face Texas on the field and prove why he believes they did make a mistake by not recruiting him during the 2023 cycle.
Kick off is set for 6:30 pm CT on ABC, with York hoping the Longhorns continue their trend of receiving the opening kick.
