By Laura Rice â¢ Aug 12, 2014. Travis County is under a burn ban for the first time this summer. Fire Marshal Hershel Lee says the area has been getting drier over the past few months and yesterdayâs rain just wasnât enough to make a significant different in the soil moisture.
Travis County Fire Marshal Hershel Lee lifted the burn ban for the region today. It was initially scheduled to last until Oct. 3. The lift will be in effect until at least Sept. 18, when the county commissioners court will consider the ban once more.
