Texas remains under an elevated wildfire threat this November, as dry weather and strong winds persist across the state, according to the Texas A&M Forest Service.

Officials reported that despite the onset of cooler months, temperatures have not fallen enough to reduce the fire danger. The Texas Department of Public Safety urged residents to avoid outdoor burning and activities that could produce sparks while the risk remains high.

Firefighters and emergency crews are on standby across fire-prone regions, coordinating with local and state agencies to monitor conditions and implement preventive measures. The National Weather Service issued warnings for dry and windy weather that could intensify wildfire activity.

Authorities advised residents in vulnerable areas to stay alert and prepare for possible evacuations if conditions deteriorate. Forestry experts continue to assess at-risk areas and develop containment strategies, while local governments consider temporary bans on open flames.

Public information campaigns emphasize adherence to fire safety practices as the state works to mitigate wildfire risks. The Texas A&M Forest Service continues to deploy personnel and resources to high-risk zones to protect communities and the environment.
