Brazoria County Burn Ban

Burn Ban in Effect for Pearland and Brazoria County

Due to dry conditions and an increase in recent grass and brush fires, a burn ban is now in effect for the City of Pearland.

Outdoor burning of any kind is prohibited while the ban remains active.

When conditions are dry, even a small fire can spread quickly. What starts as a controlled burn can easily move into fences, homes, greenbelts, and neighboring properties. These fires put residents, property, and first responders at risk.

What This Means

During the burn ban:

• No burning of yard debris, brush, or trash

• No open outdoor burning

• No unauthorized recreational fires

If it creates an open flame outdoors, it should not be taking place.

Grilling with proper equipment is typically allowed, but residents should always use caution and follow manufacturer safety guidelines.

Why Burn Bans Matter

Over the past several weeks, crews have responded to an increase in grass and brush fires. Dry vegetation and wind create conditions where fires can grow rapidly and become difficult to control.

Burn bans are a preventative measure. They are designed to reduce fire risk before a larger incident occurs.

How You Can Help

• Avoid any outdoor burning

• Properly dispose of yard debris

• Report unattended fires immediately

• Use caution with equipment that can create sparks

Community cooperation plays a major role in preventing unnecessary emergencies.
