⚠️ COMMUNITY NOTICE — SMOKE & ASH EXPECTED ⚠️

We want to make our community aware of a large wildfire currently burning in Texas, affecting approximately 60,000 acres.

With winds currently coming out of the south at 17-25mph, heavy smoke and ash from the fire has moved into our area. Residents may notice hazy skies, a strong smell of smoke, reduced visibility, and falling ash.

Please use caution while outdoors and while driving. Those who are sensitive to smoke should consider limiting time outside and keeping windows and doors closed when possible.

At this time, the smoke and ash in our area are associated with the Texas wildfire and do not necessarily indicate a local fire.

We will continue to share updates as conditions change.

Stay safe and take care of one another.
