Spreading like wildfire
By Elliott Cochran
Updated: 02.05.09
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.
The county has battled significantly more grass and woods fires so far this year compared with the first part of last year.
According to the Fire Communications office, which dispatches fire departments throughout the county except in the city of Conroe, in January 2008, six grass and woods fires were reported compared with 164 reported last month.
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.
