🔥 MARCH IS FIRE PREVENTION MONTH 🔥

Most house fires start in the kitchen.
Most deaths happen because of smoke.

And most of them?
Preventable.

It doesn’t start with a disaster.
It starts with:

⚠️ Unattended cooking
⚡ Overloaded outlets
🔥 Faulty wiring
🕯 Careless open flames

Smoke is the #1 killer in fires.
Not the flames.

That’s why this month matters.

✔ Test your smoke alarms
✔ Never leave cooking unattended
✔ Check electrical wiring
✔ Have an escape plan

Fire doubles in size within minutes.
Preparation takes seconds.

This March — don’t ignore fire safety.
Talk about it at home.
Practice it.
Live it.

Because prevention protects families. 🚒🔥

Wildfire activity is possible today near Childress, Wichita Falls, Abilene, and Lubbock. However, fuel moisture should help keep the risk of a large, hard-to-control fire low.

Increased wind speeds across Northeast Texas may support fire starts and any ignitions may spread quickly as underlying dryness builds.

🚫 Avoid outdoor burning
🚗 Secure chains and avoid dragging equipment
📞 Report smoke or fire immediately
