An Emergency Burn Ban will be in effect through Memorial Day weekend for Hays County.
The burn ban will begin at 8 a.m. Saturday, May 28 and will remain in effect until Tuesday, May 31.
"In consultation with the Hays County Fire Marshal, I believe the current circumstances in the unincorporated areas of Hays County create a public safety hazard that would be exacerbated by outdoor burning," Becerra said. Fire Marshal Mark Wobus says areas in Hays County, even those that received recent rainfall, may see an increase in fire activity due to high winds and extremely low humidity.
Those who violate the emergency burn ban face a Class C Misdemeanor charge, punishable by a fine up to $500.
