Two separate wildfires are currently causing problems in San Augustine County. One of them has already consumed 50 acres. Simultaneously, another, more massive blaze is creating more challenges further in the county. This double-pronged issue is placing a heavy burden on the county's fire department. The situation is made worse with the risk of the fires crossing central roads.
There are now reports of the larger wildfire moving, which underlines the immediate need for containment. County Judge Jeff Boyd has confirmed this second fire that has burned another 75 acres. To combat these forest fires, aircraft have been dispatched for aid. This aerial assistance is pivotal as teams on the ground intensively work to control these damaging fires.
