What a burn ban means
A burn ban is a county judge's order prohibiting outdoor burning — brush piles, trash burning, agricultural burning — anywhere in the county, issued when drought and fuel conditions raise wildfire risk. It applies to all of Harris County at once; there is no separate status for Crosby or any other part of the county.
