A wildfire in the Glendale community is 100 percent contained, and state Highway 94 has been re-opened, according to Trinity County Sheriff Woody Wallace. “The Glendale fire is 100 percent contained and is continuing to be monitored,” Wallace said in a post on his Facebook page. “Hwy 94 is open, but travelers will experience smoke. If there are any negative changes, we will update the public as quick as possible.” Wallace said that the Texas A&M Forest Service estimated that a total of 204 acres burned. He added that lightning is the suspected cause of the fire. “Thanks to all the area and surrounding area fire departments that responded quickly and got this fire under control,” Wallace said in the Facebook post. The sheriff said Sunday that the fire was mostly contained on one tract of land.
