Ector County Commissioners take no action on fireworks ban
At a Monday meeting the Ector County Commissioners' Court took no action to impose a county wide burn ban or ban all fireworks. The Keetch-Byram Drought Index stood at 471, below the 575 threshold for a burn ban, prompting assurances that current rules would stay in place unless index levels rise. County residents urged keeping fireworks allowed, while Truckload Fireworks owner Jim Harris warned a full ban could hurt his business before Independence Day.
