Burn Bans Hit Central Texas | Texas News

Central Texas is going dry and dangerously hot—burn bans are now in effect across Travis and Hays Counties from August 11 through September 29, covering all rural areas. With triple-digit temps and bone-dry vegetation, even a cigarette butt or lawnmower can ignite a wildfire. Stay safe: no open flames, keep extinguishers handy, and never leave fires unattended. Controlled burns by certified pros and outdoor welding/grinding (with proper permits) are still allowed. Protect yourself, your home, and first responders.
