The Cameron County Commissioners’ Court issued a temporary burn ban on Aug. 22, which will be in effect for at least 90 days. The ban was based on the findings and recommendations of the Cameron County Fire Marshall, who will review conditions at the 90-day mark and make a recommendation on whether the ban should be continued.
Why it matters:
The burn ban will last 90 days or until the Cameron County Commissioners’ Court decides on a termination date.
