Texas Faces Heightened Wildfire Threat Amid Ongoing Drought
Over the past week, 84 wildfires have scorched 1,883 acres across Texas, according to the Texas A&M Forest Service.
Despite fewer fire weather triggers, the persistent drought from an unusually dry fall has led to increased wildfire activity.
A fast-moving wildfire in southeast Austin burned 36 acres within two hours, while the Williams Road Fire near Burnet spread to 321.5 acres by Thursday morning.
A fire also sparked in Georgetown's Cedar Lake neighborhood, prompting Travis County Judge Andy Brown to sign a disaster declaration due to heightened fire risks.
