EPISODE 18 DETAILS What to know about the Texas wildfires The wildfire at Smokehouse Creek is only 3% contained and has covered an estimated 1,075,000 acres — making it bigger than Rhode Island — becoming the largest blaze in Texas history, according to the Texas A&M Forest Service. The state's fire preparedness level was raised to a three, meaning outside help from other agencies, regions or states may be required to battle the blazes. Wildfires, having moved east from the Texas Panhandle, were spreading in Oklahoma. At least 12 fires were burning in the state, covering more than 115,000 acres.     WHERE TO DONATE A number of organizations are working very hard to help manage the donations that are coming in across the country.  Here are a few places to look into should you want to donate and assist.   Working Ranch Cowboys Association https://wrca.org/ @wrcarodeo   Texas & Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association https://tscra.org/ @tscra   Texas Farm Bureau https://texasfarmbureau.org/ @TexasFarmBureau   Fire & Smoke Map https://fire.airnow.gov/   SPONSORS American Gelbvieh Association https://gelbvieh.org/ @AmericanGelbvieh   Ranch Channel https://ranchchannel.com/ @RanchChannel   Questions & Concerns From The Field?
