On August 7, 2024, the Nugent Complex ignited approximately 13 miles southeast of Anson, Texas in Jones County. The fire spread quickly in dry grass, juniper and oak with active fire behavior, including torching, with temperatures near 108 degrees. 

Crews are currently focused on operations related to life safety and structure protection, and containment line creation where possible.
