Alert: Extreme Wildfire Danger Today (March 14).

Extreme fire weather conditions are expected to be widespread in North Texas near Abilene, Childress, Lubbock, and Wichita Falls.

High winds, sustained between 30 and 40 mph with gusts greater than 60 mph, and low humidity will align with dry vegetation across the area and may result in large wildfires that are difficult to control. Evacuations may be necessary under these conditions.

A Southern Plains Wildfire Outbreak may develop under these conditions. Any wildfire that ignites in dry vegetation could have forward rates of spread up to six miles per hour.

Stay WILDFIRE ALERT today! If a wildfire is spotted, immediately contact local authorities. A quick response can help save lives and property.

Additionally, two DFR members will join the Emergency Medical Task Force to provide critical medical support to fire crews battling the unprecedented blaze.

Winter is here! We want to urge residents to stay vigilant and keep up with the latest forecasts as we await a winter storm. Try to stay off the roads if you can but if you must drive, be aware of ice and other hazards. Give other drivers plenty of room and drive slowly. Driving dangerously can not only affect you, but also our first responders who are working while enduring the frigid temperatures and rough conditions. Stay safe and stay warm!

Wildfire potential will increase through the weekend and early next week for Central and East Texas as the fire environment continues to degrade from summer like temperatures and dry conditions. An expanding footprint of dry to critically dry surface fuel can produce an increased volume of wildfire occurrence and resistance to control in high-risk, oak/juniper or pine timber when exposed to a fire weather trigger.
