The City of League City’s Fire Marshal’s Office has issued a ban on open-flame burning and outdoor cooking in all City parks.  This ban would include any type of smokers, grills or charcoal fires.  The Parks Office is in the process of removing or covering all grills located in City parks.  “The drought conditions have led to a high risk of fires, and we want to take every precaution to ensure that our residents are safe in City parks,” said Wanda Martin, League City Fire Marshal.

League City issued a burn ban in April; however, outdoor cooking is not included in this ban.  Outdoor cooking is allowed except at City parks.  However, the City urges residents to be cautious when cooking outdoors at home. Below are a few tips for outdoor cooking at home.
