🔥Critically dry to extremely dry surface fuel will support moderate to high potential for initial attack fires in the Rolling Plains, Cross Timbers, North Texas, and East Texas.
⚠️Avoid outdoor burning, secure tow chains, report fires immediately and follow local restrictions.

Hot, dry and windy conditions can increase wildfire risk.
Avoid parking on dry grass, secure trailer chains, and postpone activities that could create sparks. Heed guidance from local officials.
State resources remain deployed to assist local communities with fire suppression.
Texas A&M Forest Service retweeted
Team Texas responders have been working around the clock to assist local fire crews with containing active wildfires burning across the state.
It only takes one small spark to ignite a wildfire. Avoid activities that may cause a fire to start.

Increased wildfire danger continues across Texas.🔥
State resources remain engaged in the air and on the ground to support local wildfire response.
Follow instructions from local fire officials and be prepared to take action.

We raised the Wildland Fire Preparedness Level to Level 3.
Recent/forecast wildfire activity, ongoing resource commitments, and the potential for lightning ignitions across the High Plains today and tomorrow are contributing to elevated fire risk.
