Fires are growing all across the country, especially in places like California and Oregon, but Texas is faring better at the moment than many other states. Only two fires are active right now, according to the Texas Wildfire Incident Response map. Read on for more details.
The Texas Wildfire Incident Response map records all the active fires in Texas and their containment levels. Here’s a screenshot of the current map. The map is not embeddable. If you visit the map here, then you can see each active fire, its location and containment information. We will also be listing the fire information below the map.
The two current active fires are listed below.

Firefighters here have responded to #ParkRoadFire. They’ve helped with three wildfires in three weeks, so resources are stretched. @KXAN_News
