With winds continuing to make the Texas wildfire uncontrollable, the fires, started in February, have gulped 42miles by 42miles of terrain! At least 2 people & thousands of animals have died. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/mar/03/texas-wildfire-strong-winds-thwart-firefighters https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/mar/01/texas-wildfire-explained-video-photo-map
The Texas wildfires are up to 1.3+ million burned acres. Altho rain isn't predicted, a lessening of the winds & a bit of cooling may help the fire-fighters get the fires under control.
Fritch, Texas Fire Chief Zeb Smith has died in a building fire unrelated to the Texas wildfires. He was a first responder & entered the building in search of other victims & never escaped the fire. He with other fire fighters had been fighting the wildfires for a week. So, it can't be said, that the wildfires didn't have cause in the building fire death. https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/texas-news/fire-chief-in-texas-city-dies-while-fighting-wildfires-in-panhandle/3480098/#:~:text=Fritch Fire Chief Zeb Smith,Management said in a statement.
