🚩🔥 Red Flag Warning vs. Burn Ban — Not the Same Thing, Folks 🔥

Alright friends… let’s clear this up before someone says, “But I thought it was fine…”

🚩 Red Flag Warning = The Weather is in a Mood
Issued by: National Weather Service - What it means:

Mother Nature just lined up the trifecta — Strong winds, warm temps, low humidity/dry fuels

If a fire starts, it’s going to run like it just stole something.

🔥 Burn Ban = The Law Has Entered the Chat
What it means: No outdoor burning. Violating a burn ban can = Fines, Citations

Quick & Simple
Red Flag Warning = Weather prediction.
Burn Ban = Legal restriction.
Red Flag often triggers Burn Ban. BURN BAN IS ON

If the wind is howling, the grass crunches when you walk on it, and you’re thinking,

“Eh… it’ll be fine…” It will not be fine.

Let’s keep our firefighters bored and our grass unlit. 🔥

Already dreaming of spring blooms? There’s an app for that!

🪴Introducing Wild Thumb—the only native planting app made just for Texas.

This free app from TPWF will help you turn your outdoor space into a wild new habitat for pollinators. Whether you want to add a few potted plants to your porch, create a new garden bed, or grow a whole pocket prairie, Wild Thumb will help you select the best native plants or seed mixes for your ecoregion based on your zip code.

It’s all part of TPWF’s Pollinators & Prairies program. Powered by Presenting Sponsor H-E-B Our Texas, Our Future and Contributing Sponsor Phillips 66, the program encourages Texans to create native habitat in yards and communities across the state. Wild Thumb was developed in collaboration with madebyoutside, with assistance from the Native Plant Society of Texas and professional botanists.

Available for iPhone, iPad, and Android devices, download the app today, and let’s grow wild! https://bit.ly/wildthumb
