Summer Burn Bans Creep Toward Hopkins County
August 20, 2024 – With sustained texas heat and no rain for the past week, and none in the forecast, burn bans have been steadily creeping east toward Hopkins County.
Based on the current weather forecast, it’s only a matter of time before the yearly summer ban will be in effect.
In 2023, a county wide ban was put into place on August 28.
In August of 2020, almost every county in Texas was under a burn ban.
A close neighbor to Hopkins County, Fannin County enacted a burn ban six days ago.
No word yet on when a burn ban will be placed on Hopkins County this summer.
