CADDO FIRE UPDATE
FEBRUARY 24, 2026
The Caddo Fire continues to smolder in northeast Houston. Fire activity is low, and is at approximately 200 acres with 75% containment.
The Houston Fire Department Wildland Division, Harris County Flood Control District, Harris County Fire Marshal, Sheldon Community Fire & Rescue and other supporting agencies continue to operate in unified command, with personnel remaining on location to monitor the fire and changes in weather.
Currently, fire containment lines are effectively limiting any fire spread. The fire is being continuously monitored by fire personnel on the ground with the aid of drones and cameras.
We encourage nearby residents to remain vigilant and stay aware. Updates will be provided via news outlets and social media.
We are grateful for the collaboration of all the entities involved in the mitigation of this fire and for the support we have received from elected and appointed officials.
