Stinnett, a Texas town with a population of approximately 1,600, has been ravaged by the Smokehouse Creek wildfire, the largest in Texas history, which has grown to nearly 1,700 square miles. Families who evacuated returned to find melted street signs, charred frames of vehicles, and homes reduced to piles of ash. Two people have died, and the fire, only 3% contained, is expected to pose a greater challenge with increased temperatures and winds forecast. Snowfall has temporarily aided firefighters, but efforts continue to control the blaze. President Biden has pledged federal assistance.
