High fire danger for Austin area Monday

AUSTIN (KXAN) — While it’s a beautiful Monday, the area’s low relative humidity and dry conditions have pushed the fire danger to high.
The Austin Fire Department said it’s monitoring conditions in case any grass fires pop up throughout the day. Most of the counties in Central Texas are under a burn ban.
On Monday afternoon, the Lake Travis Fire Department responded to a brush fire off of Hamilton Pool Road. The fire, which burned less than 1 acre, was quickly put out.
