1. Can you have an open fire inside the city limits?

The simple answer is no. It is against city ordinance to have an open fire inside the city which consists of burning trash in a barrel, burning construction materials, or leaves in your yard. However, you may pick up a burn permit from the Fire Department in which you may be allowed to burn a brush pile on a lot that has been cleared.

2. Who sets the County Burn Ban, and how does it work?

The County Burn Ban is set by the Grimes County Commissioners Court, not the Fire Department. Once a burn ban has been put in place there is absolutely no burning within the county until the commissioners' court resends the order.

This means that a Fire Department can not give someone permission to burn by overriding a Commissioners Court ruling.
