The 2024 Student Bonfire will not burn the night before the Texas A&M-Texas game due to a burn ban in Robertson County, the organization announced Tuesday afternoon.

Student Bonfire has traditionally burned the night before the football season’s last game, functioning as the last major tradition before the game. In recent years, LSU has been the major rivalry game, as Texas was not in the Southeastern Conference from 2012 through 2023.

A statement posted to its website reads, “The Robertson County burn ban remains in effect. Burn will be rescheduled for the [spring] semester, after Aggies have returned to school, and when it is safe to burn.”

The burn ban was adopted on Sept. 10 and has remained in effect since then. All outdoor burning is prohibited under the order.

“Robertson County references the KBDI for determining Burn Bans,” the statement reads. “On advice from the Texas Forest Service, burn bans in Robertson County are lifted when the KBDI falls below 575. As of November 26, the KBDI is 638. This represents a real and significant fire danger.”

The Keetch-Byram Drought Index, also known as KBDI, is used by counties across Texas to assess the fire risk through rainfall. A higher number indicates a greater risk of wildfires spreading uncontrollably.

The bonfire construction site will remain open for visitors on Nov. 29 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Student Bonfire’s fall 2025 Burn will be a separate event.
