Officials say firefighting crews are progressing in their battle against two destructive North Texas wildfires.
An airplane drops fire retardant on a wildfire near Glen Rose, Texas, Wednesday, July 20, 2022. Officials say a mandatory evacuation order issued because of a wildfire in North Texas has been lifted although the threat of fires remains high in the state due to hot temperatures, winds and drought conditions.
Firefighters have expanded their containment from 15% to 50% Thursday of the 500-acre fire that destroyed five homes on Possum Kingdom Lake’s western shore, the Texas A&M Forest Service said. The battle was aided by slightly lower temperatures topping out in the upper 90s Fahrenheit with higher humidity and scattered rain.
