Fires across Texas, which Polk belongs to, come in two waves: fast-moving grass fires in late winter and spring before green-up, and again in late summer when the grass cures.

Higher temperatures, low humidity and wind make fires start and spread faster — check the fire-danger level before lighting any fire or working outdoors.

⚠️ The fires shown are automatic satellite heat detections from NASA FIRMS, augmented with official NIFC / WFIGS incidents where available.
