Single Incident Information

At approximately 1:00pm 7/16/2022 Texas A&M Forest Service responded to a request for assistance on a grass and brush fire in Limestone County. Two Texas A&M Forest Service dozers and one engine as well as Buffalo, Marquez, Flynn, Jewett, Dew, Teague, Shilo, West Lake Limestone, East Lake Limestone, and Grosebeck Fire Departments took action. Oil field infrastructure throughout the area complicated tactics, but forward progression of the fire was eventually stopped later that evening. The fire was mapped at 363 acres and is now in 100% containment. A TIFMAS strike team out of Sweetwater and a TAMFS tractor plow out of Palestine continue to monitor the fire throughout the rest of the day.
