🚨 RED FLAG WARNING – NO BURNING 🚨

Stephens County is under a Red Flag Warning due to extreme fire danger.
We are expecting wind gusts up to 40 mph, combined with dry conditions that can cause fires to start and spread rapidly.

🔥 ALL OUTDOOR BURNING IS PROHIBITED 🔥
This includes burn barrels, brush piles, and any open flame activities.

Please do your part to keep our county safe:
• Do not burn
• Avoid activities that create sparks
• Secure chains on trailers
• Properly dispose of ci******es

These conditions can turn a small spark into a fast-moving wildfire in minutes.

We appreciate everyone’s cooperation and vigilance. Stay safe, Stephens County.
