Gillespie County has seen several brushfires this year caused by out of control brush pile burning. Safe burning (during safe conditions!) protects landowners and neighbors!

Check out this free brush pile burning workshop in Fredericksburg on April 8th! The workshop will share information on burn regulations, safety, weather requirements, and safe pile set-up to avoid out of control burns when a burn ban is not present.
