Texas implements new firewood rules to prevent spread of invasive pests like the emerald ash borer.

Texas has introduced new firewood transportation rules to fight invasive pests like the emerald ash borer and red imported fire ants. Six counties are under quarantine for the ash borer, and firewood movement is restricted in 192 counties to prevent pest spread. To comply and protect forests, residents should follow the "Buy It Where You Burn It" rule, purchasing firewood locally to avoid transporting it across county lines.
