Cars drive Monday, March 28, 2022, on Highway 16 south of Jourdanton, as it runs next to the site of a 2-week-old wildfire that burned about 2,500 acres in Atascosa County.As of Monday afternoon, JBSA officials said the wildfire was 70 percent contained and that there were no additional flare-ups or growth overnight. Rain late Sunday and early Monday and an increase in humidity helped douse the flames. Residents were allowed to return Sunday, and officials did not expect further evacuations.
Severe drought, high winds and an abundance of dead grass are continuing to fuel such wildfires. Local fire stations and forest services urge residents to follow best fire management techniques.Without steady and soaking rain, experts expect this year to mimic prior ones that left scorched land across the state.
That’s consistent with current conditions, O’Connor said, noting that previous bad years were also marked by drought during the immediately preceding falls and winters.The last time Texas experienced drought and wildfires to this extent was 2011. That year, there were 8,443 fires across the state from January to March, according to the Texas A&M Forest Service. Those fires burned more than 600,000 acres.Similar to those years, 2022 follows a wet and rainy summer in 2021.
