Full Notification

Effective today, July 20, 2018, the Town of Fairview has implemented a burn ban. The Collin County Fire Marshal also issued the same burn ban earlier this month for all unincorporated areas of Collin County. This burn ban is in place until further notice for all properties within the Town of Fairview. 

In normal times, Fairview has restrictions on open burning but allows for residents on 10+ acres to conduct agricultural burns (with a Town issued permit) and allows for private home barbecue grills and barbecue pits to be used. During this burn ban, only the private home type barbecue grilles will be permitted to be used. The ban includes burning of brush and natural vegetation on any land parcel and in any outdoor fire pit or container regardless of size. A propane grill/ fire pit is still allowed as it does not release embers that may spread and cause fires.

If you have any questions, please review the Town’s Fire Code Ordinance on the town’s website Fire Bans Section 5.01.001; Definitions: Open Burn, Section 5.05.001, Exemptions, Section 5.05.002 or call Fire Marshal Green at 972-886-4232
