Firefighters battle week of grass blazes across Ector County
OFD crews join Texas Forest Service and multiple volunteer departments to combat fires that scorched 21 561 acres in seven days. The Bob Derrington Water Reclamation Plant is named as critical infrastructure to protect for 100 000 residents. Air support and water drops aided operations as Ector County responds to 18 grass fires and a 4 1/2 acre burn at Einstein Avenue. Officials note human activity causes about 90 percent of grass fires and urge caution.
