After three months, the burn ban in Kendall County has been lifted along with the lifting of the disaster declaration, officials said.

While the burn ban and disaster declaration were lifted on April 4, Kendall County Commissioners Court on April 8 revisited the items, making the decision to keep the ban lifted.
Fire Marshal Brady Constantine said the recent rain has led to improved conditions in which the county would not have to use all of its fire resources to handle a fire if one arose.“The conditions have changed drastically with the amount of moisture that we got,” he said.
While the burn ban has been lifted, Constantine said there are a few upcoming days where high winds are projected. During days with wind speeds above 23 mph, burning is prohibited.
