Marion County Judge Leward LaFleur made an emergency Disaster Declaration late Wednesday afternoon as a result of the fires near FM2208 and FM 3001.
“Whereas the County of Marion… has suffered widespread or severe damage, injury, or loss of life or property (or there is imminent threat of the same) resulting from wildfires, … the County Judge … has determined that extraordinary measures must be taken to alleviate the suffering of the people and to protect ore rehabilitate property.”
The declaration allows for Texas Department of Emergency Management to offer assistance as needed.
Judge LaFleur also declared a Burn Ban for all outdoor burning.
