The increasing size and frequency of wildfires in the Panhandle is putting strains on rural fire departments. Our Brad Burt reports that a bill to bring funding and equipment for these departments is now headed for Governor Abbott’s desk. The Buddy Holly Center and the Silent Wings Museum are once again taking part in the Blue Star Museums program, offering free admission to active duty military personnel and families through September 1. You can find a list of qualifications, identification, and all the participating museums at arts.gov/bluestarmuseums.
