What residents should know
The burn ban originally went into effect March 25 due to elevated fire weather conditions, according to previous Community Impact reporting.
Williamson County Chief Fire Marshal Mike Lugo recommended commissioners terminate the burn ban at an April 29 Commissioners Court meeting.
“We have had rain the last few weeks,” Lugo said. “Outside has been pretty green. There [are] some dry areas still underneath the green brush, but the firefighters, for the most part, have been controlling any fires that have been out there.”
Keep in mind
The Commissioners Court can issue another burn ban at a later date if weather conditions permit.
Prior to conducting control burns, Williamson County officials urge residents to:
- Contact their local fire department, as some require a burn permit
- Call and report their control burn to Williamson County Communications at 512-864-8282
