Officials: Burn ban issued for Travis County, expires April 7
By Lauren Reid
TRAVIS COUNTY, Texas - A burn ban has been issued for Travis County.
The burn ban goes into effect March 9 and will expire on Wednesday, April 7, unless further action is taken by the county judge or county fire marshal prior to that date. The historic winter storm we experienced last month led to a significant amount of vegetation dying or being freeze-burned. The dry vegetation, combined with high winds and low humidity levels, can be a recipe for disaster, said Travis County Chief Fire Marshal Tony Callaway. With gusty winds in the forecast in coming days, small fires can easily spread. Therefore, it’s necessary to issue a new burn ban.
