Avoid Outdoor Burning

Fire departments are responding to more grass fires and asking residents to avoid burning. The Daingerfield Fire Department was one of several echoing the message, notifying the public that its crews are working a large fire along CR 3107. Low relative humidity, below 20%, and winds gusting up to 20 miles per hour heighten the risk of wildfires. The Flint-Gresham Fire Department has asked people to avoid all outdoor burning.
