COLLEGE STATION, Texas (KXXV) — The Aggie Bonfire tradition, established annually since 1907 following a win over Tulane, is currently experiencing a setback.

The Robertson County burn ban remains in effect. A final decision on lifting the burn ban will be made on November 26.

Officials and safety personnel from the state, Robertson County, and neighboring counties have been involved in and helped with the planning process.

Students honoring former and fallen Aggies by throwing boots into the stack make the burn stack possible, ensuring the tradition remains alive.

If Burn 2024 is delayed, the Stack will remain open for visitors. Once it is safe to proceed, a spring semester Burn will be scheduled. Updates will be provided as they are finalized.
