We are building a state-managed fleet of wildland firefighting aircraft, beginning with the purchase of two SUBARU Bell 412EPX helicopters.

The new helicopters will provide firefighters with precision water drops, enhanced structure protection, improved access to rugged terrain and the ability to quickly return for additional water, allowing crews to remain engaged throughout suppression operations.

The purchase is thanks to the $256 million appropriation from the 89th Texas Legislature to Texas A&M Forest Service for the purchase, operation and maintenance of wildfire suppression aircraft. The helicopter purchase represents the first phase of a planned expansion over the next two years that includes additional aircraft, including multimission fixed-wing aircraft and large airtankers.

The burn ban for Coleman County is in effect. No outdoor burning is allowed at this time. Outdoor cooking, such as with wood grills and smokers, is still allowed. Keep a close eye on embers and ash, as fires can easily start accidentally.
