Crews Gap Wildfire First Update

Crews Gap Fire
Publication Type: News 03/14/2022

 Size: 2500 Acres

Containment: 10%
Cause: Unknown at this time
Date Started: March 14, 2022 
Evacuations: Glen Cove, but has ceased due to southward turn.

Crews Gap Fire is currently at 10% containment. Dozers from Texas A&M Forest Service (TAMFS) have began constructing containment line around the perimeter of the fire. 2 large air tankers (LAT) assisted the ground crews with retardant drops to cool off the North Flank of the fire, slowing progression to buy time for ground resources to construct containment line. Local responders are working in unified command assisting with suppression efforts. The community of Glen Cove had started evacuations at first, but due to a southward change in the wildfires progression the evacuations have ceased.
