Texas grass fires burn out of control near Poolville
Out of state reinforcements aided crews in Texas as wildfires tore through parched grasslands destroying dozens of homes and injuring at least 49 people. About 200 firefighters battled the blazes as 16,500 acres burned in Parker, Wise and Jack counties with 70 percent containment amid fires in Shackelford County and at Fort Hood. Authorities warned of risks from vehicles and discarded smoking materials while asking for federal disaster aid.
