Winter Weather Awareness from the Town Judge Eads and ATMOS
Winter weather is on our doorstep. Please review the information that ATMOS has provided. There are many good tips in this document.
ERCOT states that our Texas electrical grid is ready for this cold snap, predicted to last from late Friday through next Wednesday.
The town and DOVFD will be in constant communication, and if we have storm or cold-related issues, we will work together to communicate with the town through our website and email blast system.
Please be weather-aware and safe during this time.
From the Office of Denton County Judge Andy Eads
A Word from the County Judge
As the Emergency Management Director for Denton County, I faithfully execute my duties to the best of my ability to ensure the needs of the county are being met. In Denton County, we have demonstrated many times how critical communication can be during major storms or incidents. We are fortunate that our communities, schools, utility companies, weather service, and others understand the importance of sharing information and resources to ensure your needs are being addressed quickly and efficiently.

The Denton County Burn Ban Is No Longer in Effect
Due to recent rainfall, Denton County Commissioners lifted the county's burn ban Friday.
Despite the removal of the ban, Friday is not considered a "good burn day" by the county due to excessive wind speed.
The disposal of vegetation by open burning is allowed in unincorporated Denton County and some cities, but only on "good burn days."
The determination of whether each day is a "good burn day" or "bad burn day" is made each morning between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m.
