Governor Abbott Mobilizes State Wildfire Resources Across Texas

Statement

Governor Greg Abbott today directed the Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM) to mobilize state firefighting resources to support local officials in their response to wildfires impacting the Panhandle, the South Plains, West, and Northwest Texas.

"The State of Texas is mobilizing critical resources to assist local officials responding to wildfires impacting communities in the western half of our state," said Governor Abbott. "As we continue to monitor wildfire activity and critical fire weather conditions, Texans are encouraged to heed the guidance of local officials and follow wildfire safety tips to keep themselves and their loved ones safe. I thank the brave emergency response personnel who are taking the lead in protecting the lives and property of their fellow Texans from these fires."
