Burn Ban Today

Terms of Service

Last updated: November 2, 2026

These terms apply to burnbantoday.com, its free email alerts, widget and API, and its paid text-message (SMS) alerts (together, the "Service"). The Service is operated by ED&EU LTD ("we", "us"). By using the Service you agree to these terms.

1. What the Service is

Burn Ban Today shows the current burn ban, fire ban and fire-restriction status of US counties and Canadian municipalities, copied from official state and provincial agencies and the National Weather Service and checked hourly. It is an information service only. We are not a government agency and are not affiliated with any of the agencies we copy from.

2. Accuracy and your responsibility

Official sources can be late, incomplete or wrong, and so can we. Cities, fire districts, HOAs and federal land can have stricter rules than a county ban. Always confirm with your county, municipality or local fire department before you burn. You are solely responsible for complying with burn restrictions; do not rely on the Service as your only source.

3. Free email alerts

When you sign up with your email address we send a confirmation and then an email when the status of the places you chose changes. Every email has a one-click unsubscribe link.

4. Text-message (SMS) alerts

  1. Program: Burn Ban Today burn ban alerts. Automated texts sent when the burn ban, fire ban or restriction status of the places you chose changes. You opt in on our text alerts page by entering your mobile number, ticking the consent box and completing payment.
  2. Message frequency: varies with status changes, usually 0–6 messages a month per place, plus a confirmation text when you sign up.
  3. Cost: $9.99 per year, charged through our payment provider Stripe and renewing automatically each year until you cancel. Message and data rates may apply from your carrier.
  4. Opt out: reply STOP to any message to stop texts and cancel your subscription. You will get one final message confirming the opt-out. You can also cancel with the link in your receipt email.
  5. Help: reply HELP to any message, or email hello@burnbantoday.com.
  6. Refunds: full refund on request within 7 days of your first payment. After that, cancelling stops future renewals.
  7. Carriers: mobile carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Delivery depends on your carrier and coverage.
  8. Consent: consent to receive texts is not a condition of any other purchase. We never sell or share mobile numbers or text-message opt-in data with third parties for marketing.

5. Widget and API

You may embed the widget and use the read-only API free of charge, including commercially, provided you credit Burn Ban Today with a link and don't overload the Service. We may rate-limit or block abusive use.

6. Acceptable use

Don't attempt to disrupt the Service, sign up phone numbers or email addresses that aren't yours, or misrepresent the data as an official government source.

7. Disclaimer and limitation of liability

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss, fine, damage or injury arising from use of, or reliance on, the Service, including missed, late or incorrect alerts. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim.

8. Changes

We may update these terms or change, suspend or end the Service. If we end paid text alerts, we will refund the unused part of your subscription. Material changes to the text-alert terms will be sent to subscribers before they take effect.

9. Privacy

See our privacy policy for what we collect and how we use it.
