Fast moving wild fires are taking their toll on several states. The dry weather with high winds add a fast fuel to a small smoulder from tossed cigarettes and other items.
The fast-moving Dyer Mill Fire destroyed 30 homes about 80 miles northwest of Houston and scorched 3,600 acres. The Bearing fire that authorities say is one of the largest in east Texas history, was burning through about 14,000 acres on Sunday. The Bearing Fire, which started on Friday, was 40 percent contained. In central Texas, seven mobile homes were lost to the Green Cedar Fire in Kendall County. The National Weather Service had warned that wind gusts could reach as much as 60 miles an hour in several states in the Southwest.
