Many #Texas #Panhandle residents whose dwellings and possessions burned in the region’s ongoing #wildfires may never financially recover for one simple reason: Their homes weren’t insured.

Crews will work diligently throughout the day and take advantage of the moisture increase. Weather and Fire Behavior: Light snow showers in the morning have increased the moisture and relative humidity however, wind speeds reduce that moisture availability throughout the day resulting in moderate fire behavior. Any hot spots remaining will reduce moisture in surrounding areas allowing for fire activity in the afternoon. Evacuations: In the town of Fritch, the following neighborhoods have been evacuated: Alibates, McBride, Mullinaw, Harbory Bay, Chisolm Trail, Arroyo Grande, and Sage Brush.

#WindyDeuceFire 2/4

Night operations consisted of one team of engines patrolling impacted residential areas to allow other local and state resources to rest and rehabilitate equipment. Today: Early morning snow showers have allowed the opportunity for heavy equipment crews and engines to get into the interior zones of the fire and work on suppression tactics and construction of containment lines. However, this window of reprieve will not last long due to high winds returning and precipitation chances reducing over the course of the day. Aircraft remain available in Dumas and Abilene if needed.

Single Engine Air Tankers (SEATS) were on scene making water and fire-retardant drops to aid in suppression of intense fire.
