Texas wildfires prompt evacuation orders and disaster declaration



“Devastating” wildfires in Texas have prompted evacuation orders in parts of the Texas Panhandle and a disaster declaration by Gov. Greg Abbott for 60 counties.

There was “extreme fire behavior” associated with the wildfire on Tuesday, with wind gusts up to 60 mph and flames as high as 20 feet, a spokesperson for Texas A&M Forest Service told ABC News.
