### Daily Wildfire Report for Texas - June 25, 2025

#### Overview
While Texas is not currently experiencing the same level of wildfire activity as some of its neighboring states, the state remains vigilant and prepared for potential wildfires, especially given the regional fire risks and the ongoing support being provided to New Mexico. Texas has been proactive in enhancing its emergency response capabilities and coordinating with other states to address wildfire threats.

#### Current Situation
- **Fire Activity:** Although Texas is not reporting a high number of large active fires within its own borders, the state is actively involved in supporting neighboring New Mexico in their wildfire response efforts. This cooperation is part of a broader regional strategy to manage and mitigate wildfire risks[1][5].
- **Active Fires:** There are no significant large-scale wildfires currently reported within Texas. However, the state's emergency management resources are on high alert and ready to respond to any potential fires that may arise.
- **Prescribed Burns:** There is no current information on prescribed burns or other land management activities specifically within Texas. However, the state's focus is on readiness and support for regional fire management.

#### Key Details
- **Support for New Mexico:** Texas has deployed additional emergency management resources to New Mexico to assist with ongoing wildfires and potential flash flooding. This deployment includes resources coordinated under the Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC)[1].
- **State Preparedness:** Governor Abbott has directed the Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM) to maintain a heightened state of readiness, particularly in anticipation of extremely critical wildfire conditions and severe weather threats. This includes activating the Texas State Emergency Operations Center to Level II (Escalated Response) when necessary[5].

#### Recommendations
- **Public Awareness:** Residents are advised to remain vigilant and prepared for any potential fire risks. It is crucial to have an emergency plan in place and to clear dead brush from properties to reduce the risk of catastrophic fires.
- **Resource Allocation:** Texas emergency management personnel are working closely with national and regional partners to ensure adequate resources are available to respond to any fire incidents that may occur.

#### Fire Weather and Wind Warnings
- **Regional Fire Weather:** While Texas itself is not under immediate threat, the broader region is experiencing significant fire activity. Residents should be aware of the potential for rapidly changing fire conditions and stay informed about weather and wind forecasts that could impact fire behavior[2][3].
