Texas fires have burned homes and caused evacuations while bringing smoke into the southeast portion of the state.
HOUSTON, Texas -- Wildfires in central and northwest Texas are causing some to wake up to the sight and smell of smoke all across the city.As a cold front moved through and wind shifted out of the northwest, smoke from wildfires across the state was brought into southeast Texas.
Several wildfires merged to form what fire officials call a"complex" that was burning near Eastland, about 120 miles west of Dallas. Other smaller fires were burning throughout other areas of Texas, and Thursday's low humidity and high winds created an ideal scenario for the blazes to quickly grow out of control. Texas A&M Forest Service had warned of a wildfire outbreak this week because of the forecast.A nursing home in Rising Star was evacuated and residents were taken to a community center, Eastland County Today reported.
