Burn bans in both Llano and Burnet County are no longer in effect after the area received enough precipitation.
Llano County lifted its burn ban on Thursday, Dec. 31, according to a press release from County Judge Ron Cunningham. Burnet County also had removed its prohibition against outdoor burning due to the amount of rainfall the area received during a wet spell late last month.
