HILL COUNTY, Texas (KXXV) — Hill County Commissioners' Court rescinded its burn ban Tuesday — it was put in place in August.
However, residents who plan to burn are asked to call the Hill County Sheriff's Office — the courtesy call allows officials to alert area fire departments, which may receive reports of fire from bystanders.
The Sheriff's Office can be reached at 254-582-5313.
In Robertson County, its Commissioners' Court issued a burn ban order on Tuesday.
The order points to existing drought conditions and public hazard concerns, and it prohibits outdoor burning in unincorporated areas of the county for 90 days.
