Burn bans are in effect for Tarrant, Parker and Wise counties. Tarrant County Fire Marshal Randy Renois says these grass fires may not necessarily be human-caused.

"We get tree branches in the power lines, power lines hit the ground - we have a grass fire," Renois said.

Renois says the fire danger will likely not let up tomorrow. So far at least 100 acres have burned in Wise County.
