Scenes from the Smokehouse Creek fire in Texas

0

The Smokehouse Creek fire is the largest ever recorded in Texas. Since the fire started Monday, it has burned more than a million acres of land in the state Panhandle, much of it ranching land.

The fire, which spread around the town of Canadian, is still largely uncontrolled. It has destroyed cattle ranches, destroyed homes and killed at least two people. It is now one of the most destructive fires in US history, and conditions are expected to worsen this weekend.
