The Trinity 3988 Fire has officially been renamed the Holly Fire. Multiple local fire departments and Texas A&M Forest Service (TAMFS) are on scene and working in unified command.

Elevated fire weather, including triple digit temperatures, low relative humidity and wind speeds near 15 mph, is supporting moderate fire behavior in a mature pine plantation with occasional group tree torching and fuel driven crown runs. The Holly Fire is currently active and aviation resources have been ordered to assist while dozers are constructing line.

Structures Threatened

Five homes are indirectly threatened and being protected by local fire departments with engines.
