"Texas Nuclear Weapons Facility Shuts Down as Wildfires Spread"

Wildfires in the Texas Panhandle prompted evacuation orders in small towns and shut down the Pantex nuclear facility, the main assembly and disassembly site for America's atomic bombs, as the largest fire burned nearly 400 square miles and remained zero percent contained. Evacuations were ordered in several towns, including Canadian and Miami, with multiple fires reported across Hemphill and Hutchinson counties near the Oklahoma border. The fires were 20 to 25 miles from Amarillo, and wind was blowing wildfire smoke into the city, affecting people with respiratory issues.
