Jasper County Judge Mark Allen on Tuesday rescinded a burn ban for the county which had been in effect for several weeks. This comes one day after Tyler County dropped its burn ban, and also after abundant rainfall began across the region and is expected to continue through the week. Meanwhile, a burn ban remains in effect in Angelina, San Augustine, and Sabine Counties. There are currently no burn bans in effect in Newton, Orange, Jefferson, or Hardin Counties.
