County Judge Wade McKinney signed a declaration Thursday afternoon declaring a Local State of Disaster in Henderson County. The declaration comes because of the extended drought and rash of wildfires the county is experiencing.

The declaration will be in effect for seven days unless it is extended by Commissioners Court.

According to the declaration, Henderson County firefighters have responded to 40 fires just this week and 134 so far in July.
