Windy and dry weather conditions in Texas and Oklahoma have led to a surge in wildfires. As of March 14, 2025, multiple fires have broken out in Texas, with some of the largest being the Crabapple Fire near Fredericksburg and the Windmill Fire in Roberts County. These fires have burned thousands of acres and remain largely uncontained. The Texas A&M Forest Service Incident Viewer shows that there are nine other fires burning in different counties across the state, with varying levels of containment.
In response to the growing threat, outdoor burn bans have been issued in 130 Texas counties to prevent further fires from starting. Firefighters are working tirelessly to contain the blazes, with assistance from resources like a Large Airtanker dropping retardant over affected areas. Despite their efforts, the fires continue to rage on, fueled by the dry conditions and strong winds.
The situation is further exacerbated by the presence of smoke and dust filling the skies in Oklahoma, adding to the challenges faced by firefighters. As the wildfires persist, residents are urged to stay informed and take necessary precautions to ensure their safety.
