County Judge Brint Carlton signed an emergency order Thursday issuing a burn ban for Orange County Emergency Service District #1. The order prohibits outdoor burning in the Vidor area beginning Thursday and continues through Tuesday, November 1. The order states it was declared based on the imminent threat of disaster from fire and authorizes the imposition of controls on activities which increase the likelihood of fires. Initial violation of the burn ban will result in a warning for the person doing the outdoor burning. Second or flagrant violation of the no-burn notice subjects the person to possible prosecution.
