Reminders:
The Denton County Burn Ban Is No Longer in Effect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.
