Ross Fire Rages Through North Texas | Dallas News

The Ross Fire, now the second-largest wildfire in North Texas history, has scorched over 85,000 acres and destroyed 157 structures—though crews saved more than 450. Named after Ross Watson Road, it’s one of many wildfires in Texas that get their names from first responders and local landmarks, unlike hurricanes with official lists. Smaller fires often go unnamed, labeled only by county and number. With containment at 31%, firefighters remain focused on control and protecting nearby communities as the blaze continues to burn.
