Burn ban lifted
Wednesday, October 25, 2023 by Elizabeth Pagano
After some much-needed rain, with more on the horizon this week, Travis County has lifted its burn ban, effective Oct. 24. Despite the improving conditions that led to Travis County Chief Fire Marshal Tony Callaway’s declaration, the county continues to urge caution when burning things outdoors and advised residents to call 911 if a fire gets out of control. Residents are also advised to call their local fire department before burning things outdoors and to follow state regulations when doing so.
