Texas Forest Service Burning Ban Flags
Have you seen red and white flags flying
at fire departments and courthouses?
The Texas Forest Service is distributing
these flags in hopes that they become
a recognizable image to the public,
a signal to stop outdoor burning and
begin conserving water. They are produced
by Texas Department of Criminal Justice
inmates and sold on a nonprofit basis.
When we experience extended periods
of hot, dry, windy weather, counties
implement bans on outdoor burning as
a wildfire prevention tool. To support
this prevention effort, TFS posts a
list of counties with burning bans on
the TICC home
Flags are approximately 3' x 5' and
cost $30.00 the Price Includes Shipping.
Flags are printed on both sides with
two metal grommets for easy flying.
To order, please contact Jan at jamen@tfs.tamu.edu

along with a letter that serves as a
bill.
