Incident report 3/25/26:

At approximately 2:30 pm, the Beckville Fire Department responded to a grass and woods fire on county road 241. Upon arrival 1 to 1.5 acres were found to be involved on Luminant property. Clayton Fire Department and the Texas A&M Forest Service were requested for assistance. Beckville and Clayton contained the fire and due to forecasted high winds and low humidity, the Forest Service plowed a fire line around the perimeter.

PSA:

While we are currently not under a burn ban, high winds and low humidity are forecasted for this weekend and early next week. Fires can quickly get out of hand, especially around trees and brush. Use caution if you must burn and keep water nearby.

As alway, don’t hesitate to call 9-1-1 if a fire gets out of control.

03/16/2026

Although we have received some rain and there is no burn ban in effect, please refrain from burning today. Winds and RH will be primed for fires to quickly get out of control.

Low RH values and Breezy conditions will yield elevated wildfire conditions across the entire Four State Region. Outdoor burning and activities that involve open sparks or flames are discouraged.

While we are not currently under a burn ban, we kindly ask to refrain from burning for the next few days until conditions improve. Right now, small fires can grow to out of control wildfires very quickly.
