With high northern winds blowing through Montgomery County coupled with low humidity and dry vegetation, the conditions have been ripe for out-of-control fires.

John Warner, district forester III with the Texas Forest Service, said weather conditions have deviated from previous years due to the amount of debris left on county grounds from Hurricane Ike, as well as a combination of weather conditions that have accelerated the spread of small fires.
