FORT HOOD (Now designated Fort Cavazos), Texas — Fort Hood (Now designated Fort Cavazos)’s Directorate of Emergency Services has closed two roads through the post’s training area due to heavy smoke from fires.

West Range Road, on the western portion of the training area, and Triple A Road, in the northern training area, have been closed until further notice.

The Fort Hood (Now designated Fort Cavazos) Fire Department continues to battle four fires in the installation’s training range areas, where approximately 6,500 acres have been affected over the past four days. An overnight shift in the wind forced the two road closures this morning.

The Fort Hood (Now designated Fort Cavazos) Fire Department continues to monitor the situation and conduct offensive and defensive efforts to suppress and contain the fires.

Currently, the fire poses no immediate risk of leaving the installation boundary, nor does it pose an immediate threat to life or property.
