Burn Ban Lifted

Hays County has lifted the burn ban as of September 7, 2018. Fire Marshal Clint Browning reminds citizens to burn safety – always have a responsible adult attend your fire, and ensure you have a water source nearby.

“Always check the burn ban status before you decide to burn outdoors,” Browning said. “Just because it rained at your house, it may not have rained significantly throughout the County, so please don’t make the assumption that a burn ban has been lifted should your property receive rain.”

Rules for outdoor burning are available on the Fire Marshal’s webpage: http://www.co.hays.tx.us/fire-marshal.aspx
