Today’s cooler weather will further reduce fire behavior on any residual pockets of heat. Dozers, engines and aerial resources are available to assist as required. As resources are no longer needed, they will be reassigned or released home. The incident will be transitioning from the Southern Area Blue Team back to the Texas A&M Forest Service local unit, who will manage the Smokehouse Creek, Windy Deuce and Grape Vine Creek Fires until 100 percent containment.

WEATHER and FIRE BEHAVIOR:  

Today’s weather includes considerably colder temperatures, with scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms continuing through much of the day. The additional moisture and cooler temperatures make additional fire spread unlikely.

MAJOR CLOSURES:

Alibates Flint Quarries National Monument, McBride, Mullinaw, Blue West, Plum Creek and Fritch Fortress Areas are closed. No other road closures at this time. Please see local sheriffs’ websites for the most current roads update.
