Hays County’s Burn Ban lifted

Hays County’s Burn Ban was lifted Friday.

The ban, which was enacted on Sept. 7, ended at noon on Nov. 4.  According to the resolution approved by Hays County Judge Ruben Becerra, “Hays County determined a drought and wildfire danger existed and passed a Burn Ban … Hays County has since experienced some rainfall; and the current weather forecast shows a more favorable condition with chances of additional moisture and higher humidity.”

The resolution added that Becerra conferred with Fire Marshal Mark Wobus to determine that the drought conditions have lessened enough to warrant the ban’s removal.
