Released by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers:
FORT WORTH, Texas � The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Fort Worth District, announced a temporary emergency closure on parts of Lake O' the Pines due to ongoing fire suppression operations in the area.
The closure is necessary to ensure the safety of the Texas Forest Service aircraft "skimming" the lake surface to refill their water tanks, as well as the safety of the boating public during these operations.
Boaters are asked to stay off the main body of the lake near the dam upstream to the Johnson Creek Park area, a distance of approximately three miles. Boaters may continue to use lake areas upstream of Alley Creek Park, or the coves outside of the main body of the lake.
This restriction will remain in place until the Texas Forest Service notifies the Corps that their aircraft are discontinuing fire suppression efforts in the area. The Corps and the many firefighters at work in the region appreciate your concern for their safety.

Scarey deal, but understandable.
Hopefully the fires get put out quickly!

I gotta tell you.... I have so much respect for the folks fighting these fires. I put them in the same league as military. Tough, tough work

+1 on the respect and admiration for the fire fighters, Godspeed to you all!
Wright Patman it is then, since I already paid to stay at a place in Linden. Never been there before and I don't think the bass fishing is as good as LOP, but should be another pretty east TX lake for my wife and I to check out!

www.kltv.com has an interactive map...it's not real accurate. But it's better than nothing!

Open your eyes & look within, are you satisfied with the life you�re living.
No matter how good or bad you have it, wake up each day thankful for your life. Someone somewhere else is desperately fighting for theirs.
