Burn Ban Lifted in Tom Green County-But Fire Risk Still High

Tom Green County officials say the county burn ban has been lifted. The sheriff’s office reminds residents that even though the ban is no longer in effect, caution is still needed when burning. Officials ask anyone planning to burn to notify the sheriff’s office in advance. Dry conditions can still increase fire risk. Crews urge residents to monitor weather and have water nearby. Violations could still result in enforcement action if fires get out of control.
