December 16, 2021 10:28AM CST
State, Federal and Local Fire Crews are continuing to fight active grass fires taking place in the panhandle.
Texas A&M Forest Service said thanks to winds diminishing over night, crews were able to make major advances to contain the fires.
Active Fires include:
The North 207 Fire in Carson County has burned an estimated 15,000 acres and is 30% contained.
The Parker Creek Fire in Oldham County has burned an estimated 7,000 acres and is 75% contained.
Crews will be focusing today on improving containment lines, working as direct as possible along the fire’s edge along with patrolling and mopping up the fire areas.
