Williamson County Burn Ban, Still in Effect

Williamson County commissioners extended the county burn ban for 90 days during a regularly scheduled Oct. 18 meeting.

Additionally, Williamson County could be considering extending the burn ban up through the same time next year if weather predictions are accurate, Williamson County Emergency Services Director John Sneed said.

The burn ban prohibits smoking in county-owned parks, preserves and trails. The burning of household yard waste such as leaves, brush and grass is also prohibited under the ban.  Outdoor cooking is allowed if it is enclosed on at least three sides and the top can be covered. The burn ban also allows welding, cutting and grinding operations if required precautions are taken.
