– Wildfires continue to engulf parts of North Texas in flames this afternoon as firefighters urgently work to bring them under control.The National Weather Service took the unusual step of issuing not one, not two or even three, but four rare fire warnings for Eastland, Erath, Hood, and Montague Counties. The last time a fire warning was issued was over four years ago in Parker County.
A temporary flight restriction is in place above and around the Big L fire to allow firefighting helicopters and planes to operate without interference. One firefighter was injured while fighting the Big L fire when flames scorched her face. The Big L fire is about 30% contained. Other parts of Eastland Complex fire are continuing to burn, but choppers aerially attacking the flames were able to make significant progress today in spite of the weather conditions. Strong winds made it easy for fire to spread, and dry conditions limited the sources of water available.18-Year-Old In Critical Condition, 9 Others Wounded After Gunfire Erupts At Dallas Party Venue
