Commissioners lift burn ban for county
McLennan County commissioners today lifted the burn ban that had been in effect since July 1.
This means outside burning of brush and other items is allowed.
But Frank Patterson, emergency management coordinator for McLennan County, cautions those burning outside to closely monitor wind conditions. He added that not all parts of the county have received the rain showers that prompted the commissioners to lift the ban.
“We will revisit this matter next week,” Patterson said.
