In light of the conditions caused by wildfires burning in Montgomery, Grimes, and Waller counties, barbeque grills along with any type of outdoor cooking will not be allowed on the campus of Prairie View A&M this weekend. These rules extend to tailgating activities planned for this weekend's football contest versus Arkansas-Pine Bluff scheduled for 6 p.m. at Blackshear Field. Violators will be ticketed and removed immediately.

As a reminder, Waller in under a burn ban which has been in place since April 2011. The ban prohibits any outdoor burning. A violation of the ban is a Class "C" misdemeanor, punishable for up to a $500 fine.

Please continue to monitor weather conditions and government issued alerts by listening to your local news and weather stations. Information will be posted on the University's website, communicated through the local media, via email, the University's social media pages and the Panther Alert System regarding any change in status.
