I also ask Texans to join me in praying for those who have been affected by these wildfires, including Eastland County Deputy Barbara Fenley who was tragically killed while trying to save lives.
Parts of Eastland, Callahan and Brown Counties were impacted by out of control wildfires. Volunteer fire departments from across the Big Country region have responded.
The strong, gusty, dusty west winds blowing across West Texas are fanning dangerous wildfires across the region threatening some communities Thursday afternoon.
