Madison County A!erts has an important message to share with you.
Madison County is currently under a burn ban. Outdoor burning is prohibited in accordance with the order and shall continue for so long as such conditions exist, as they currently do, since we are experiencing extreme fire danger due to dry conditions in our area. You may find more information on the county website at www.co.madison.tx.us and on our Facebook page. The information there also describes special procedures for welding during this time.
Please use extra caution with ANY type of fire that might be necessary, including cigarettes, cigars, and cooking fires. The smallest spark could cause the largest loss!
Again, Madison County continues to be under a burn ban. Please use caution and help us stay safe out there…
