'Neighbors taking care of neighbors': North Texas firefighters are among those battling active wildfires near Wichita Falls and Abilene.
Boyd added, the wildfire season this year has been active. Assistance from their department for other fires began as early as January, he said.
“We expect even more to be coming over the next couple of days,” he said. “This completely embodies what it means to be neighbors taking care of neighbors. Being in Lake Worth, we are kind of the furthest west of our DFW area law enforcement. We kind of see ourselves as a gateway out to Abilene. When you drive through our city, you see the exit that says 'Abilene.' So, we do feel that connection.
North Texas crews have also been deployed to assist with the Coconut Fire, which continues to burn west of Wichita Falls Friday. So far, the Coconut Fire has burned more than 40 square miles and is 45% contained, according to the Texas A&M Forest Service. Pacot said their three crews were deployed on Thursday. How long they will be assisting depends on the need, he said.
