EPISODE 18 DETAILS What to know about the Texas wildfires

The wildfire at Smokehouse Creek is only 3% contained and has covered an estimated 1,075,000 acres — making it bigger than Rhode Island — becoming the largest blaze in Texas history, according to the Texas A&M Forest Service.
The state's fire preparedness level was raised to a three, meaning outside help from other agencies, regions or states may be required to battle the blazes.
Wildfires, having moved east from the Texas Panhandle, were spreading in Oklahoma. At least 12 fires were burning in the state, covering more than 115,000 acres.
