County lifts burn ban
Thursday, October 14, 2021 by Tai Moses
Thanks to the recent rain and cooler temperatures, Travis County Fire Marshal Tony Callaway has lifted the burn ban for the unincorporated areas of the county. Callaway added that “our forecasted weather pattern for the remainder of this week will help reduce fire danger,” but that “we will continue to monitor the weather and soil conditions closely.” Burn ban or no burn ban, extreme caution is always advised when doing any burning outside. Make sure you are following all regulations on outdoor burning and always have water nearby.
