“With breezy conditions in the forecast and little to no rain expected, fire weather concerns are likely to remain elevated due to dry fuels. Drought conditions are also likely to worsen as meaningful precipitation stays out of reach,” said KTAB Meteorologist Katalina Bell.

The Texas A&M Forest Service shared tips on how to extinguish a fire:

  • Never leave a campfire unattended; allow the wood to burn completely to ash if possible.
  • Pour water on all embers until the hissing sounds stop.
  • Stir the campfire ashes and water with a shovel.
  • Scape logs to remove embers.
  • Stir and make sure everything is wet and cold to the touch
