The cooler weather is here, and leaves are really beginning to fall. Remember, when you rake up those leaves and get ready to burn, notify the Sheriff’s office at (580)795-2221 for a control burn first. And please don’t burn when the wind is blowing.
Some dates you need to remember are the first Thursday of each month the Texoma Fire District Board Meeting takes place at 6:30 p.m. at the Community Center, everyone is welcome to attend.
