Don’t trust the map.

For example, it shows the fire East of Crockett, TX to be well North of US 287. My guy on the ground just reported the fire crossed US287 last night in MULTIPLE PLACES. The fire has spread at least 10 miles from where the map shows it.

The Forest Service is trying to put out the hot spots while they have daylight and light winds.

Because of the “roadless initiative” of the US Forest Service (thank you, Greens), there are almost no access roads into the National Forest South of 287. Every trail has multiple trees down across it which the Greenies will not allow the Forest Service to clear.

That whole area of National Forest was in dire need of controlled burns last Winter when they had rain and cool temps.

Instead of harvesting timber and allowing grazing by ranchers, we get total devastation.

We need to remember why such fires cause so much damage when they occur and hold the Greens responsible.
