As critical weather conditions that increase the chance of wildfires return to West and North Texas, TIFMAS resources are prepositioning to help reduce the impact of potential fires. Two Strike Teams of wildfire engines are already in place while four more Strike Teams are
traveling this morning. Prepositioning is an important strategy to place resources closer to predicted areas of need so they can arrive in scenes more quickly to attempt to bring wildfires under control before they get too large.
Your Texas Intrastate Fire Mutual Aid System (TIFMAS) Firefighters and @TXEMTF are headed back home! Having provided 14 days of assistance with the Palisades Fire in California, they now begin the return trip home to Texas after deploying under a state-to-state agreement.
