contained, 154 homes threatened. A Type 1 incident management team, Texas
Intrastate Fire Mutual Aid System is responding with Wildland Engine Strike
Teams and Structure Protection Strike Teams.
Friday, Oct. 16
1:04 p.m.
Hidden Pines Fire is currently
4,582 acres and 25% contained.
Northeast winds will prevail at 8 - 12
mph. Around 2 - 4 p.m. is when winds are expected to be at their highest.
Fire behavior is slow, with a chance of high significant fire potential.
Weather Update
Four consecutive
days of accelerated drying for North, East and Central Texas has increased
the amount of critically dry fuels. Wind speeds today increase the
significant fire potential. Where critically dry conditions exist in parts
of Northeast and parts of Central Texas the significant fire potential is
high to very high.
Winds are expected to be their strongest
during the morning hours and begin to relax going into the afternoon.
Strongest winds will be the Panhandle, Southern Plains and out in West Texas. Wind speeds
will also be a concern in East Texas, any speed above 10 mph can be enough
to take a surface fire into the tree canopy.
Through the weekend, dry air will persist and could increase
the fire potential. The current front will reinforce the dry air for
Central, North and Northeast Texas for the entire weekend sending RH back
into the teens.
