Wildfires Flare Up in Texas, New Mexico

“We're working on some hot spots and flare ups and we'll probably be doing that until tomorrow”

Wildfires fueled by strong winds and warm temperatures charred about 286 square miles in central and west Texas on Monday, forcing the evacuation of this community of 1,500 people.
