A significant change in ground moisture led Brazos County commissioners Tuesday morning to order an outdoor burn ban.
The unanimous vote followed the recommendation of two of Brazos County’s four rural fire chiefs.
The outdoor burn ban for unincorporated areas of Brazos County expires November 16 unless it is terminated earlier.
Outdoor burning is already banned in Bryan and College Station.
