County Judge Urges Caution When Burning

October 9, 2026 - To the Public,
 
While the burn ban has been lifted, I urge everyone to burn with extreme caution. If you don’t have to burn brush or trash, please don’t. If you need to burn, please do so responsibly. That means do not leave it unattended. 

According to all the critical numbers and information that my office has received; tomorrow is a better day to burn. Please keep up with the information on our website and Facebook pages for further information.

If needed, I will not hesitate to declare another burn ban.

Thank you for helping keep Shelby County safe.
