All 2026 Jeff Davis County Fires · 1 fires

A fire is listed here when it is located in Jeff Davis County. Each complex is counted once, through its parent: the parent carries the complex's acres, and its member fires are listed beneath it without being counted again. A fire that crossed a county line is listed with the acres that burned in Jeff Davis County, not its whole reported size. A fire located elsewhere that burned into Jeff Davis County is listed too, at its Jeff Davis County acres, and is not added to the Jeff Davis County fire counts. County lines come from a different boundary dataset than state lines, so Jeff Davis County's acres are counted along county lines and can differ a little at the edges from the figures on the state page.
