Want to help?
Texas Forest Service has established the VFD Emergency Assistance Fund to help volunteer fire departments battling the wildfires. Donations are tax deductible and can be earmarked for particular departments, counties or regions. All proceeds (100 percent) will be distributed to volunteer fire departments via grants for firefighting expenses.

If you would like to donate to this fund or if you have questions about how you can help, email HelpingTexas@tfs.tamu.edu.

Hi K.! Nor can I! It's so massive!
With the latest weather conditions:

Higher levels of relative humidity, decreasing wind speeds and some slight rain continue to give firefighters a brief reprieve, allowing them to take an aggressive, offensive stance when fighting the wildfires across the state. However, extremely critical fire weather is predicted again.
