Texas Wildfire

A US power company admitted Thursday that its equipment may have sparked the largest wildfire in Texas' history.

Texas emergency crews were struggling Thursday to contain the largest wildfire in the US state's history, with the blaze killing at least two people and scorching a million acres as it raged out of control.

The video of the truck spinning in Texas tornado spread like wildfire on the internet, with thousands of views within a few hours.

Residents left homeless by a massive Central Texas wildfire turned their attention on Friday to what they need to move forward, with some voicing frustration over a perceived delay in federal response even as early signs of recovery appeared in reopened neighbourhoods.

A wildfire burning near Austin, Texas, destroyed about 300 homes, forced the evacuation of many others and was advancing unchecked through parched ranchland along a 16-mile front, authorities said. The fire had blackened more than 5,334 meter since it started on Sunday and was the largest of the dozens burning in the drought-stricken state.
