Grayson County has lifted its burn ban for unincorporated areas, KXII reported, ending the restriction on Friday, Oct. 2, after recent rainfall.
Anyone burning outside city limits in the county remain subject to rules set by the Grayson County Fire Marshal's Office. Burns must be registered the same day by calling 903-813-4411, kept to daylight hours with someone present, limited to natural debris generated on the property, and called off once winds hit 23 mph or are expected to.
The same phone line takes reports of illegal burning.
Fire officials say the danger has not gone away. Grass fires, Collinsville Fire Chief Damon Stewart warned in comments to KXII, can be hard to reach when fields are muddy.
