A wind-whipped grass fire ignited on Monday near Fort Worth, Texas, rapidly spreading overnight to 50,000 acres and triggering evacuations, officials said.
The Ross Fire in Palo Pinto County, Texas, which has also shut down a highway, is the latest in a series of wildfires across the West and Northwest, and came just as fire crews in Nevada were making progress in battling a massive fire near Reno that has destroyed or damaged more than 50 homes and prompted 42,000 evacuations.
