"Texas Panhandle Wildfires Prompt Emergency Response and Highway Closures"

The Texas governor has issued a disaster declaration as wildfires continue to grow in the Panhandle, with the Smokehouse Creek Fire reaching around 250,000 acres and 0% containment. Evacuation orders have been issued for communities like Scotts Acres in Stinnett, and firefighting efforts are ongoing in various areas. "Red flag" warnings and high wind warnings have been issued for several regions, and other fires, such as the Grape Vine Creek Fire and Juliet Pass Fire, are also being monitored by the Texas A&M Forest Service.
