Editor's note: This is an update to the June 30 story that Community Impact Newspaper previously reported on the Montgomery County burn ban.
Montgomery County voted unanimously to approve a countywide burn ban at a Commissioner's Court special meeting July 5.
County Fire Marshal Jimmy Williams said at the meeting a burn ban would not have affected any of the 30 fireworks-related grass fire calls the fire departments responded to July 4.
"A burn ban right now really only would affect a resident who is cleaning up their yard, picking up a few limbs, raking their leaves, and trying to burn those, so we are going to be restricting that with a burn ban," Williams said.
