Wildfire containment slows as strong winds fuel flames in the Texas Panhandle
Wildfires continue to burn across the Texas Panhandle, driven by winds reaching up to 40 mph and possibly stronger. Thick smoke is visible near the community of Canyon, where firefighters have been working around the clock to extinguish the flames. As of last night, the fire was 40% contained, but crews say the strong winds are making progress difficult and creating unpredictable fire behavior.
