Thanks to recent rains Comal County Judge Sherman Krause today rescinded the recent burn ban in unincorporated areas of the county for 70 hours.
It goes back into effect at 6 a.m. Thursday, July 18.
“The signs will remain down,” Fire Marshal Kory Klabunde said on social media. “Please be safe and stay with any fire you light until it is extinguished. You can contact our office at 830-643-3748 if you have any questions.”
Burn bans are issued when the Keetch-Byram Drought Index (KBDI), which measures soil dryness, reaches 500.
Sunday’s KBDI was 466 points.
The county issued the burn ban on July 5.
