Tyler County Emergency Management

Special thanks to our partners from other places. Hand crew from Puerto Rico and aircraft from Oregon and the west coast. Used today for spot fires in Northeast Tyler County.

Today is going to be another scorcher. Remember with a heat advisory, the combined heat and humidity make almost unbearable to be outside. Just standing or walking can cause problems. If working take frequent breaks, drinks lots of water and get help if you start feeling lightheaded or sick. Late afternoon is the Worst part of the day.

Our area is expecting heat index in access 110 degrees today.
