Recent reoccurring high winds, low humidity, warmer temperatures and dry conditions have increased the likelihood of grass and brush fires. Although Wichita County has not issued a temporary ban on open outdoor burning, or a burn ban, many surrounding counties have chosen to do so. Please note that the City of Wichita Falls prohibits all outdoor burning inside the city limits and a county ban will be enacted by the Wichita County Commissioners Court if deemed appropriate.
