All 2026 Palo Pinto County Fires · 2 fires

A fire is listed here when it is located in Palo Pinto 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 Palo Pinto County, not its whole reported size. A fire located elsewhere that burned into Palo Pinto County is listed too, at its Palo Pinto County acres, and is not added to the Palo Pinto County fire counts. County lines come from a different boundary dataset than state lines, so Palo Pinto County's acres are counted along county lines and can differ a little at the edges from the figures on the state page.
