The ban on outdoor burning was lifted on Nov. 14 by both Burnet County and Llano County.
Burnet County has had the ban in place since Oct. 11. Recent rain hastened the decision by both counties. Property owners and residents are asked to:
• Contact the Burnet County Sheriff’s Office prior to starting any outdoor fire.
• Construction materials, household trash, rubber or plastic goods cannot be burned.
• The fire must be manned all the time the fire is burning.
• The fire cannot be started before sunrise and must be completely out by sundown.
• Water must be readily available on the site in order to control the fire.
To call in a controlled burn in advance, contact the Burnet County Sheriff's Office at 512756-8080. In Llano County, call LCSO at 325-247-5767.
