Firefighters contain wildfires as heat and wind rise in OK and TX
Texas and Oklahoma battled fast moving fires that killed four people as authorities warned of more blazes with warm, dry, and windy weather. In Bryan County Oklahoma a 10,000 acre grass fire near Achille was brought under control with water drops after burning homes. Cross Plains Texas saw major damage but most rubble no longer smoldered while new blazes started near Palo Pinto and Lamar counties. Meteorologists warned no substantial rain for the next week and winds to 40 mph with humidity under 20 percent.
