Fire officers warn of a high risk of forest fire in North Texas NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth

The area northwest of DFW faces an extremely critical fire risk on Friday.

NBC 5 went to Wise County, where first aiders try to prevent brush fires from turning into potential disasters.

“Since the humidity of tomorrow will be extremely low, the wind speeds will be extremely high,” said Jason Paradise, fire chief of the Boyd Fire Department. “So if a fire has a chance of fuel, it will escape us.”

In Wise County, a strike team and a Task Force of Firefighers will mobilize for all brush fire that appears on Friday.

The day before, firefighters tested their equipment, preparations and steel in the Boyd Fire Department to sleep at the ward when firefights were transformed into battles taken.

“We have the ability to stop fire with these conditions, it is difficult,” said Paradies.

Firefighters said their greatest concern were the small apartment departments in Wise County, who recently appeared next to wide brushes.

“The threat of their houses, only because of these strong winds, can cover the embers far away,” said Paradies. “Fire drives very quickly.”

Wise County First Responder said that the fire conditions on Friday will be very similar to those who caused the last big fire there: a brush fire on Valentine's Day 2021, which burned more than 300 ACRES.

Firefighters asked the community to follow burn bans and to have an evacuation plan for a forest fire for the worst case.

“These fires can quickly escape us from us,” said Paradies. “So that is a big concern, is only property.”
