It’s pretty bad. Our biggest concern is the wind and relative humidity is very similar to what we saw March 12; hopefully it’s not a repeat.

No rain until the thirteenth is what they’re saying, so not good.

It’s random, all over the state. You could throw a dart at a map and that would be as good a prediction as any.

That’s all it takes. I haven’t heard of any started by carelessness which is wonderful. The media helped get the word out to people that conditions are really dire right now.

I can’t tell you how fast these fires have ignited. It’s just crazy.

It is really depressing if you look at the 90-day forecast, because there doesn’t appear to be any relief in sight during that time. That’s why we have all jumped on this so quickly; the...

The winds have died down, which has helped a lot.

Where you have people, you have the possibility of a spark getting out of control. It is very important for people to be aware of how dangerous the situation is. Even a small spark can...

It’s looking better now, but we’re leery of the sun shining full strength and the winds picking up again.

It’s definitely going to help for a couple of days, but the burn bans are going to stay in place until county officials deem it safe to lift them. We’re definitely not out of the...

That has us all real concerned. We have every resource out now.

We’ve got fires everywhere. We’re losing homes in Hood County. Wise County has had three today. Cooke County’s got a large one burning.

Our big concern today is we’re going to be experiencing a lot of wind and low humidity.

We are really concerned with fireworks for New Year’s Eve. These are really extreme conditions. Texas isn’t used to it, and people need to be careful.

There are certain steps that homeowners can take to make their property safer. They include clearing leaves and other combustibles away from the home, abiding by the burn bans that are in place and turning...

Definitely, conditions are very, very dry and volatile.

We don’t do the initial attack. When locals say, ‘We’re going to need you on this one,’ that’s when we go.

We saw a lot of things starting right after Christmas that we never expected to see in Texas.

We’re still looking at extreme fire danger. Until we get significant rainfall, that’s not going to change.

They’ve got the fire progression stopped.

Tomorrow we’ll be able to get full containment.

If you don’t catch it there, there’s not another natural fire break.

It just seems like Mother Nature’s not cutting us any slack. They’re telling us now that our first chance of rain is Friday the 13th, which doesn’t give me a lot of hope.

This fire up here in Ringgold is kicking up on us pretty good. We’re flying heavy air tankers on it.

Five percent humidity. That’s just unheard of this time of year.
