The wildfire in Texas has become the largest blaze in the state’s history, causing destruction and claiming lives. Weather conditions are expected to worsen, with strong winds and dry conditions fueling the fires. Over 8 million people in several states are under ‘red flag’ warnings. The Smokehouse Creek Fire has spread over 1 million acres and is only 15% contained. Four other fires are also burning in the area. The fires have resulted in the loss of thousands of cattle and damage to the state’s cattle industry. Efforts are being made to investigate the cause of the fire and aid those affected.
