Fire services will remain on location through the night to completely extinguish all flames.

BOSQUE COUNTY, Texas — Bosque County Sheriff's Office consider the Walnut Springs Fire  'under control' after reports of a nearly 600-acre fire in the area, as stated via Facebook.

According to Kiley Moran with the Texas A&M Forest Service, only 45 percent of the fire is contained.

The fire resurged Thursday after it jumped the forest services' containment line and spread due to increasing and shifting winds in the area, according to Bosque County Office Of Emergency Management. 

Citizens of Walnut Springs and the surrounding area should still stay vigilant as there is always potential for the fire to reignite and quickly become out of control, according to authorities. 

Fire crews will remain at the scene throughout the night to completely extinguish the flames, according to reports. 

Bosque County Office Of Emergency Management has deemed that there is no danger to Walnut proper at this time.
