## Resource

A blown tire on a vehicle along Texas Highway 180 sparked the devastating Ross Fire, now the second-largest wildfire in North Texas history, burning over 90,000 acres. Investigators confirmed the cause through tire marks and rubber debris, highlighting how a roadside mishap can ignite catastrophic wildfires under dry, windy conditions. The blaze has destroyed 157 structures and damaged 140 others, while saving over 450 buildings. At 38% containment after nearly two weeks, crews from across Texas battle relentless flames fueled by extreme weather—a chilling reminder of nature’s swift and destructive power.
