## Resource

Texas wildfires remain a major threat as the Dry River Fire near Sutton County swells to over 8,700 acres with just 30% containment—no injuries or homes lost so far, but crews are still battling smoke near I-10. Meanwhile, the Ross Fire, which destroyed 167 structures and scorched nearly 90,000 acres, is now fully contained—a huge win. With unseasonably hot and dry weather fueling multiple active fires including Clark, Hydra, and Lobo, officials warn Texans to stay vigilant: conditions are dangerously ripe for new blazes to ignite.
