Fire Marshal logoTravis County Issues New Burn Ban

by Lisa Block, Travis County Emergency Services Public Information Officer

September 22, Travis County Commissioners Court issued a new ban on outdoor burning in the unincorporated areas of the County. The previous burn ban was set to expire Sept. 23.

“While parts of the County have received rain, other areas have not,” said Travis County Fire Marshal Hershel Lee. “Fires easily start and spread in dry vegetation. Until we see widespread rain throughout the County, a burn ban will help reduce the risk of wildfire.”

The burn ban is scheduled to expire on Oct. 21, unless action is taken by the County Judge, Commissioners Court or Fire Marshal.
