Our Wildland Division remains actively engaged in wildfire operations across the state.
One of our crews, along with a STEN Trainee, is assisting on the Ross Fire, now exceeding 90,000 acres. We also have a team and a Strike Team Leader deployed in Alice, Texas. Additionally, one of our Strike Team Leader Trainees has responded to five fires over the past 14 days and is currently serving on the Webster Fire in Fort Davis.
We are incredibly proud of the hard work and dedication of our personnel as they continue answering the call wherever they are needed.

Tropical weather update 8/31/2026 @ 7:30 PM:

Tropical Storm Edouard has now formed in the Gulf. Our forecast hasn’t changed much with this update.

We still expect Edouard to make landfall tomorrow afternoon near the Texas Louisiana border.

As it moves inland to the northwest the forecast track is just east of Montgomery County but we remain inside the cone.

Heavy rain fall is possible with this system. Expecting up to 3-5 inches east of I45 with isolated pockets of higher amounts depending on actual track and if training rain bands set up over the county.

West of I-45 looks to be from 1-3 inches possible.

At this time please pay close attention to the forecast in the morning as any overnight updates will be current then. The morning update will likely be the last before landfall.

We are not forecasted to see significant winds with this storm. This will bring much need rain to the area but we could still see flash flooding.

For that reason we are under a flood watch from 1 am Tuesday morning through 7 am Wednesday morning.

Please remain weather aware.

More updates to come as we receive them.

🏠🔥 5 Families Will Sleep Safer Tonight! 🔥🏠

Tonight, five families in the Tamina Community will sleep a little better knowing their homes are protected by working smoke detectors.

Our crews spent the morning in the Tamina Community installing smoke detectors in homes that previously had none installed. Ensuring every family has early warning in the event of a fire is an important part of keeping our community safe.

🚨 Smoke detectors provide early notification during a fire and that early warning can save your life.

If you live within our department’s territory and do not have working smoke detectors in your home, please visit our website or contact District Chief Nichols at 936-514-2453.

✅ Test your smoke detectors regularly.
✅ Make sure every level of your home is protected.
✅ Never go without a working smoke detector.

Working smoke detectors save lives. Protect your home. Protect your family.
