Ross Fire Rages Through North Texas | Lubbock News

The Ross Fire in North Texas is exploding out of control, devouring 50,000 acres and forcing evacuations as flames surge at 6,000 acres per hour—just 5% contained. Governor Abbott has secured FEMA funding to fight the blaze, while FAA has shut down airspace for safety. Local leaders are urging prayer, ranchers scramble to move cattle, and residents are being told how to donate. Extreme heat and drought have made the region tinder-dry, with temps hitting 109°F. A brief rain shower offered little relief as crews race to protect homes and beg for more help from state and neighboring counties.
