WASHINGTON COUNTY BURN BAN LIFTED

  

Washington County Judge John Brieden rescinded the burn ban today (Monday).  The county wide burn ban went into effect July 26th after conditions became exceptionally dry and several large grass fires occurred in the county.  With this weekend’s rain, Brieden ended the ban effective immediately.  The city of Brenham recorded almost 5 inches of rain from Saturday through this morning and further rains are expected this week.
