Despite increased wildfire danger anticipated for Tuesday as warm, dry and windy conditions were forecast, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department moved forward with a prescribed burn in Bastrop State Park on Tuesday morning. The units planned to be burned were along Park Road 1C.
In response to residents voicing concern on social media about conducting a prescribed burn on a day with increased wildfire danger, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department said it had a large crew of trained and certified wildland firefighters on the ground as well as three “burn boss’s with a large culmination of prescribed fire experience in our Lost Pines ecosystem and tens of years of research, education and training."
WTF! I got a load of brush to burn and still know better than to light it up when it's this dry.
