Clay County, TX – A large grassfire has forced the closure of FM 2393 between Dean and Gaines Road this afternoon, according to the Clay County Sheriff’s Office. Drivers are urged to avoid the area as multiple volunteer fire departments are on scene working to contain the blaze.
According to officials, FM 2393 is currently shut down to all nonessential traffic while crews battle the fire, which spread quickly through dry grassland. The Sheriff’s Office made the announcement just minutes ago, advising residents and travelers to use alternate routes until conditions improve.
At this time, there are no reports of injuries or property damage, but authorities have not yet determined what sparked the fire. Smoke may be visible for several miles across southern Clay County, and nearby residents are encouraged to stay alert for updates and avoid outdoor burning.
Firefighters are expected to remain on scene through the evening as containment efforts continue. Motorists traveling through the area should plan for detours and possible delays.
