I am reposting this for the Jermyn Texas VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT. This a small fire department located between Jacksboro and Graham Texas . They have been out fighting this fire since day one . These Volunteers are family . When the wind changed direction they were the ones beating on the door of homes waking sleeping people up . They were saving lives . Remember $5.00 will buy a case of water . They are in need of supplies. Please help save the people who are VOLUNTEERING TO BE ON FRONT LINES . If you can help it would be greatly appreciated!! My mom, dad, oldest son, brother in law, & brother are just a few of the countless individuals out fighting this demon!! 🔥 JERMYN COMMUNITY — NEEDS YOUR HELP! 🔥 Our family members, along with several other members of the Jermyn Volunteer Fire Department, are currently helping fight the Ross Fire, which has spread from Palo Pinto into Jack County. Our guys are out there working long hours in the heat and smoke, and we want to make sure they have the basic things they need to stay hydrated, energized, and comfortable while they’re fighting this fire. ❤️‍🔥 We are collecting donations for our firefighters and the other crews working alongside them. Every little bit helps! 🚒 ITEMS NEEDED: 💧 Bottled water ⚡ Liquid I.V. packets 🥤 Gatorade / electrolyte drinks 🧻 Water wipes 🧼 Baby wipes 👁️ Eye drops 👄 Lip balm ❄️ Cooling towels 🥜 Peanut butter crackers 💪 Protein bars 🍎 Small, quick snacks that can be eaten on the go 🍪 Granola bars / trail mix 🍌 Other individually packaged snacks You do NOT have to take donations directly to the fire department. If you have items you’d like to donate, I can pick them up, or you can contact me or my sister in law and we will arrange pickup or a drop off location! We will make sure everything gets to our guys so they can distribute it to the firefighters working the fire. If you are able to donate one case of water, a box of snacks, a few Gatorades, or even just a handful of Liquid I.V. packets — it all adds up. ❤️ We can also take donations through Venmo to arrange a SAMS or Walmart pick up order! Venmo : @Courtnie-Curd-2 or @Ky-Goodin-5 Our small communities always come together when our neighbors need us, and right now our firefighters need us. Please consider helping however you can, and please keep all of the firefighters, first responders, families, and communities affected by this fire in your prayers. 🙏🏻🔥 If you can donate or would like to arrange a pickup, please contact me or Ky Goodin

Definitely a change this morning. Smelling wood smoke and the smoke is heavier.

We live in Hood County and we definitely smell the smoke and it’s very hazy. My son said it’s like this in Downtown Fort Worth as well. Praying for rain!!

Can def smell the smoke.

Hudson Oaks here, smoke is definitely here. I can only imagine how bad it is at the fire if the air is so bad here.

Lots of prayers with all involved and fire fighters and prayers for much needed rain

Smoke is here in Weatherford! God bless & be with our fire fighters!

Thanks for the update, we can definitely smell it and see some smoky haze. Y’all be safe!

May God bless and keep out Volunteer firemen and women safe

Barbara Mabery-Jackson, if you need anything from town, let me know!! Stay inside! 😉

We appreciate all you do!

Praying for the fire fights

The smoke has cleared up in Thorp Springs. Thank you all for your bravery.

Prayers for our firefighters

The second Trump administration has implemented significant budget cuts and organizational shifts affecting wildland firefighting and the U.S. Forest Service (USFS). ​The administration's budget proposals and Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) initiatives reduced the overall USFS budget by roughly 24% to 43%. These reductions led to thousands of workforce cuts across the agency. While frontline wildland firefighters were not explicitly targeted for direct pink slips, thousands of personnel lost their jobs—including critical support staff, incident management specialists, and qualified wildland firefighters in ancillary roles. ​Beyond raw dollar cuts, the administration has restructured how wildland firefighting is managed: ​Centralization of Firefighting: The administration initiated plans to consolidate federal firefighting operations by shifting wildland firefighters away from the Department of Agriculture (USFS) and into a newly created Federal Wildland Fire Service under the Department of the Interior. ​Research & Suppression Cuts: The budget proposals targeted state, tribal, and collaborative forest restoration grants, alongside plans to close roughly 57 of the Forest Service's 77 research stations. These facilities conduct key research into wildfire preparedness, vegetation management, and fire behavior. ​Policy Shifts: The administration has advocated for an aggressive "full suppression" mandate (putting out fires as quickly as possible) and increased commercial logging to reduce fuel loads, while leaning on state governments and private partnerships to shoulder more forest management responsibilities. ​Critics, union representatives, and former forestry officials argue that reducing the Forest Service's broader workforce and research capabilities undermines real-time firefighting logistics and preventive fuel-reduction work. Conversely, administration officials maintain that restructuring streamlines federal operations, cuts administrative overhead, and focuses resources on active timber management to mitigate fire risk.

Praying for everyone and our fire department

Gathering needed supplies at Costco will be dropping off later today! Bless you for all you do!👍💪🏻
