Wildfires in Texas have ravaged a vast 2,000 square miles in the Panhandle over just four days, equivalent to the size of Delaware. The largest fire, Smokehouse Creek Fire, has become the biggest in Texas history and the second largest nationwide, claiming the life of an 83-year-old woman. Spanning nearly 1.1 million acres, it surpassed the 2006 East Amarillo Complex Fire, leaving a devastating impact on the region.
Residents like Janice are grappling with the aftermath, with properties reduced to rubble. The community of Fridge, Texas, already scarred by the 2006 fire, is facing another round of destruction. Danny Williams, a 30-year resident, narrowly escaped as flames engulfed his neighborhood, saving his neighbor but witnessing the loss of four nearby homes.
