On August 3, 2022 a wildfire started just north of Tolar, Texas. The fire grew quickly and established itself in thick oak and juniper brush. Local volunteer fire departments responded and began suppressing the fire. Departments from across Hood county responded to Tolar fire department's request for assistance to help attack this fire. Texas A&M Forest Service was requested to bring aerial resources and heavy equipment to assist local departments and are now working in Unified command with Hood County Fire Marshal's office. High temperatures and high winds will continue to drive fires and cry already critically dry fuels.

With the large number of aerial resources on scene and drones in the air will quickly cause all air operations to cease. Aircraft pilots can not easily see drones in the air and impact with these small objects can cause severe damage.
