TEXAS — Texas A&M Forest Service, the state’s lead agency for wildfire response, on Monday raised the state’s preparedness level to Level 4, the second-highest level.
The agency said that over the past seven days, it has responded to 80 wildfires, burning 8,521 acres. Forty-one of them have occurred since Friday. The forecast for this week calls for more triple-digit temperatures with few chances for rain. Much of Texas is in drought conditions. Due to a significant increase in fire activity across the state, potential for large fires as well as the increased commitment of state and local resources to fires, Texas A&M Forest Service has raised the State Preparedness Level to Level 4 .
