Some East Texas Burn Bans Lifted

Based on indices such as the Ketch-Byrom drought survey, fire danger has gone from extremely high to very low. After several days of significant rainfall, Hopkins County Judge Robert Newsom, in consultation with Fire Marshal Andy Endsley, lifted the ban on outdoor burning. Camp, Cass, Cooke, Franklin, Marion, Morris, Rusk, Panola, Titus, Wood, and Upshur were other counties that lifted their burn bans.
