Williamson County commissioners issued a 30-day burn ban at their Feb. 26 meeting.
County Judge Dan Gattis was given the authority to lift the burn ban before the ban expires if conditions improve, according to a news release.
The ban prohibits burning any combustible material outside of an enclosure containing all flames and/or sparks or ordering others to burn items.
It also prohibits burning to clear land of vegetation and the burning of household yard waste, including leaves, grass and brush.
