AMARILLO, Texas (KFDA) - In response to the high winds and dry conditions the Texas Panhandle is experiencing this week, many fire services are taking extra precautions to help minimize wildfires.
Extra resources and staff by both area fire departments and the Texas A&M Forest service are proving to be beneficial in keeping the spread of wildfires today to a minimum.
“There’s a chance for significant fire danger as well as a high probable chance if we do have a fire, it’s going to show and exhibit a high fire behavior,” said James DeGrazia, wildland urban interface coordinator, Texas A&M Forest Service.
