Henderson and Morris Counties in Texas have implemented burn bans due to heightened fire risks, with Henderson County's ban lasting 14 days and Morris County's for seven days. The Keetch Byram Drought index was reported at 591, prompting Henderson County Fire Marshal Shane Redburg to recommend the ban after 20 grass fires were recorded in two weeks. Morris County's ban prohibits all outdoor fires, except for fully covered grills and smokers. In Tillman County, Oklahoma, a similar 14-day burn ban has been issued, prohibiting all types of outdoor fires while allowing grilling under specific conditions. Violators in both counties face fines up to $500, and the Lanark district continues to enforce its ban following a recent illegal campfire incident. These measures are aimed at preventing potential disasters amid ongoing dry conditions.
