Holiday caution urged

The Texas Forest Service is urging you to use caution while celebrating the upcoming holiday weekend – and when doing any outdoor activity that can cause a spark. Although many areas have received significant rainfall, the U.S. Drought Monitor indicates much of the state is experiencing some level of drought. On Memorial Day weekend last year, local fire departments and Texas Forest Service responded to 363 fires that burned almost 18-thousand acres.
