Dry conditions, strong winds, above average temperatures, and low relative humidity have contributed to extremely critical wildfire danger across large portions of the Texas Panhandle and caused increased fire weather in other areas of the state.
Elevated-to-critical fire weather conditions are anticipated to continue through the week.
Affected Texans are encouraged to report damage to homes, businesses, and agricultural property. Share pertinent details and photos to assist emergency management officials in the preliminary damage assessment process.
