On Monday, both Fort Bend and Montgomery Counties issued burn bans.
Fort Bend County’s burn ban applies to unincorporated areas of the county.
In Montgomery County, Judge Mark Keough also issued a disaster declaration along with the ban, citing worsening drought conditions and the elevated fire risk. The burn ban goes into effect for the county starting Tuesday.
