The wildfire roller coaster continues in much of Texas and state fire officials say things may get worse before they get better.
The rash of wildfires across the state has firefighters on constant alert. Carrie Smith with the Texas Forest Service says that probably won't change anytime soon. She says dry conditions are expected to last through May. If that happens, she says the fire season will be extended into the summer months.
Smith says wildfires that dotted parts of Central Texas this week have been brought under control and the mop-up has begun, but she says that lull could be temporary. She says quick-moving cool fronts with strong winds and numerous wind shifts, along with dry conditions, mirror what was seen in 2005 and 2006. She adds that, as bad as things have been so far this year, mid-March is historically when the worst wildfires occur.
