FLOWER MOUND — Due to high winds, low humidity, and very dry vegetation creating a high risk of large and destructive wildfires in Flower Mound, the Fire Department has implemented a Burn Ban prohibiting open burning that will remain in effect until further notice.
In accordance with the Burn Ban, only gas and charcoal grills that have lids may be used for grilling, and the lids must be used at all times. Additionally, charcoal grills must have a five foot radius from any combustible material. Outdoor fireplaces or fire pits must be fueled by natural gas or propane, and no combustibles such as wood, leaves, or brush should be used for burning.
Under any condition, open burning can only be conducted with a burn permit obtained through the Flower Mound Fire Marshal’s office. A permit for welding and hot work must also be obtained prior to work being preformed. Residents possessing a burn permit must contact the Fire Marshal’s office at 972-874-6207 or Police Dispatch at 972-539-0525 to obtain daily burn status. Fire Department officials will continually monitor the environmental conditions and adjust the Burn Ban accordingly. For more information, call the Flower Mound Fire Marshal at 972-874-6207.
