Central Texas has seen an expansion of outdoor burn bans. The Texas A&M Forest Service has added three more counties to its list. McLennan, Limestone, and Freestone counties are the latest to be included in the outdoor burn ban.

These additions bring the total number of Central Texas counties under the ban to six. Other counties, such as Hill, are also affected. For more information on the outdoor burn bans, including the full list of affected counties, readers can refer to the latest map from the Texas A&M Forest Service.
