Fast-moving wildfires continue to grow, west of Fort Worth three counties are under evacuation orders and at least two firefighters have been injured.
Property owners have been driving with their trailers trying to move livestock out of harm's way. NBC 5 also saw people dousing the grass near their homes and businesses with water in hopes of preventing fire damage.
"Never had any fire issues or been in any positions like this until today," said resident Scooter Tidwell."They are watering the ground right there maybe if it does reach us. it will slow it down a little bit before it reaches the house and the barn. a little nervewracking." Another person we talked to said he evacuated his mother and their dogs, but that was all they were able to save, now they're just hoping for the best.
The Texas A&M Forest Service says a temporary flight restriction is in place over the Big L Fire, they are asking people to stop flying drones within or near wildfires to avoid hampering firefighting efforts.A new fire in Eastland County has been labeled the"Blowing Basin Fire." The Texas State Guard has joined that firefight.
The Texas Guard continues to support our community partners through wildfire suppression. This weekend, Army aviation employed CH-47 helicopters with bucket drops near Rising Star, Texas.
