The Tom Green County Sheriff’s Department is evacuating around the Reece Road subdivision, south of San Angelo, as a new wild fire has broken out in a bar ditch on U-S 2-77 from Airport Road to Ridge Lane. Bulldozers have been working to cut fire breaks south of the blaze.
The Texas Forest Service says a wildfire in Kimble County that started Tuesday has burned around 7000 acres and destroyed ten structures, including a family home, south of Junction. Crews have the Oasis fire 60 percent contained, today. There’s still isolated torching and active burns, when it hits surface fuels. Four firefighters have been injured battling the flames. Evacuation orders have been lifted.
The Wildcat Fire in Coke County is now listed as 95 percent contained and smoldering.
The Scott Ranch fire in Irion County is now 90 percent contained. The Texas Forest Service says crews made significant progress knocking that one down, yesterday. It’s still creeping and smoldering. And there’s potential for growth, with the weather.
A Red Flag Warning is in effect until eight p-m. There’s potential for explosive fire growth. Don’t park a vehicle in tall grass. Dispose of any lit materials carefully and responsibly. A burn ban is in effect. And, a wind advisory is in effect until eight.
