Milam burn ban is lifted to start year
The new year started without a rural outdoor burning ban in Milam County.
County Judge Steve Young said the ban was lifted at noon on Monday. He termed the ban lifting “temporary.”
Lifting of burn bans affect only the rural portions of Milam County. Municipalities in the county, including Rockdale, have their own, permanent, outdoor burning bans.
Those rural residents planning large outdoor burns are asked to notify their nearest police and volunteer fire departments.

It’s a new year and that means it’s back to the classroom for all area students.
Classes in the Thorn-dale ISD, Thorndale St. Paul’s Lutheran, Milano ISD and Gause ISD will return on Tuesday (Jan. 7).
Rockdale ISD students have an extra day off. They come back on Wednesday, Jan. 8 after two work days for teachers.
