Careless debris burning is the # 1 cause of wildfires in Texas. Debris burning is the practice of intentionally burning vegetation or waste materials, such as fallen branches, leaves, or other organic matter, in outdoor settings.
Debris burning is a common practice in Texas, but it can lead to wildfires if not properly controlled.
To prevent debris burning from causing wildfires, it is important to follow local regulations and guidelines for outdoor burning. These regulations may include restrictions on burning during dry or windy conditions, requirements for obtaining burn permits, and guidelines for proper containment and supervision of debris fires.
It is crucial to prioritize safety, be aware of weather conditions, and take appropriate precautions to minimize the risk of accidental wildfires.
