Safety boundary: Texas Hazard Watch organizes official-source information. It does not detect new ignitions, issue evacuation orders, declare roads safe, or show an exact fire edge unless an official perimeter is available. Incident-point distance is straight-line distance to the reported point—not distance to flames or a safety boundary. Call 911 for immediate danger.
