WILDFIRE DEPLOYMENT UPDATE

Our office continues to have personnel and resources deployed at the request of the State of Texas in support of ongoing wildfire response operations.

Multiple members of our office, joined by personnel from several Montgomery County fire departments, are currently assigned to the Ross Fire in Palo Pinto and Jack counties. Our team has been supporting fire operations while serving in multiple Command and General Staff positions.

Earlier this week, the State requested additional support for this complex incident, and we answered the call by deploying our Mobile Operations Center for use by the incident management team on scene. Additionally, one member of our office remains deployed in a statewide logistics role, delivering mission-critical supplies to the Texas A&M Forest Service throughout the state.

We are proud to have our personnel serving with multiple statewide response teams, including Texas Incident Management Teams, the Texas Incident Support Task Force and the Texas Intrastate Fire Mutual Aid System. These teams respond to incidents across Texas throughout the year, and our staff play an integral role in their missions.

These deployments allow us to provide vital assistance to communities and responders during critical incidents while gaining valuable, hands-on experience that strengthens our preparedness and response capabilities here at home.

Please continue to keep all firefighters, support personnel and affected communities in your thoughts and prayers.

As Tropical Storm Edouard moves out of our area and the Flood Warning for eastern Montgomery County has been lifted, our office is downgrading its activation posture to Level 3 (Increased Readiness).

We will remain weather aware and continue monitoring conditions. Daytime heating may produce additional thunderstorms that wrap around the remnants of Edouard; however, no significant impacts are currently expected in Montgomery County. We will share any important updates as necessary.

We are also closely monitoring the catastrophic flooding occurring northeast and east of our county. Should neighboring jurisdictions request assistance, Montgomery County stands ready to support our partners and the affected communities.

Tropical Storm Edouard update 9/2/2026 @ 8:30am:

Tropical Storm Edouard has been downgraded overnight to a tropical depression. The center of circulation is just east of Groveton and continuing to move off to the northwest.

Overnight rainfall was minimal overall to nonexistent for most of the county. A flash flood warning was issued early this morning for portions of East Montgomery County, including Splendora. That warning will expire at 9:30. The feeder band responsible for that heavy rain has since moved at of the area.

The National Weather Service says there is a possibility of some additional feeder band development today over our area so the flood watch is still in effect.

Our neighbors in Liberty and Hardin counties received 10+ inches and are facing flash flooding in many places.

While we could use a really good soaking we are thankful not to have seen any significant flooding. Rain chances remain in the forecast through tomorrow.
