AUSTIN (KXAN) - Just one month after lifting the burn ban, Travis County commissioners on Tuesday voted to reinstate it.

After some substantial rains, the ban was lifted on July 11. But the region has returned to the dry conditions that generally come with the Central Texas summer.

Contact the Travis County Fire Marshal’s Office at 512-854-4621 with questions.
