Hays County Lifts Burn Ban After Significant Rain

With all the scattered showers and thunderstorms Hays County received over the week of September 7, the county has lifted the burn ban for the time being for unincorporated areas.


Hays County Courthouse, San Marcos, TX – Hays County has lifted the burn ban as of Sept. 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.
