Burn Ban for Schertz and Surrounding Communities

Recently, our area has had warm, dry weather that increases the risk of wildfires, even after some rain and cooler temperatures. Officials have reviewed the KBDI index, which shows a high level of 500-600, indicating a significant fire risk. As a result, the burn ban will continue until conditions improve. Unincorporated areas in Bexar, Guadalupe, and Comal Counties are also under a burn ban.

Ban Restrictions:

• No open flames, including fire pits, bonfires, and campfires, are permitted in any outdoor spaces. 

• Discontinuation of prescribed burns and agricultural burning. 

• Suspension of permits for controlled burns, incinerators, and fire training exercises.

If you have any questions, please contact the Schertz Fire Department at (210) 619-1300.
