🔥 BURN BAN IN EFFECT
A burn ban is now in effect in the unincorporated areas of Hays County, beginning Aug. 11, 2026 and continuing through Sept. 29, 2026, unless otherwise authorized by the Commissioners Court.
Freezing rain is expected to increase in coverage tonight. We have additional staffing to respond to increased emergency calls. If there are power issues or you need to warm up, Hays County CERT has opened a warming center at the Amvets location on Veterans Drive. Stay safe.
Due to dry conditions across the county, Hays County has implemented a burn ban, effective immediately. No outdoor burning is allowed in Hays County until further notice.
Our crews are out in school zones this morning reminding drivers to take it slow and watch for those excited students heading back to class. Here’s to a safe, smooth start to the school year for everyone on the road and in the classroom.
