The Austin County Commissioners Court issued a burn ban notice to be in effect within the Austin County Area. ย Commissioner Randy Reichardt stated that he had called several of the fire chiefs in the area and reported that the reason we have not had any real incidence of fires. ย There have only been two fires and the Austin County Citizenry has been quite responsible with their burning. ย It was the general consensus of the commissioners court that it is just too dangerous to have fires in such dry conditions within the county. ย
