Wildfire in Donley, Texas

Wildfire March 15, 2026 – March 16, 2026 · Donley, Texas

What the National Weather Service wrote

On March 15th we had critical fire weather conditions, but it wasn't your typical fire weather day. We had strong north winds that had frequent gusts over 50 mph and some gusts got up to 60 mph near the fire area. While temperatures were cool, in the 50s the RH values were still on the lower side below 30 percent and with the dry grasses due to lack of soil moisture, any fire that ignited in these conditions would still be able to spread quickly. While this fire was contained at just 234 acres, it did trigger mandatory evacuations on the south side of Greenbelt Lake where about 340 homes were evacuated, and overall the fire threatened over 2,100 homes in the surrounding area. The Corner Pocket fire while smaller than usual for documentation, did manage to require several homes to be evacuated. It's believed to be human caused by power generator, and managed to burn 234 acres.
