Texas wildfires destroy neighbourhoods in second largest incident in state history

Drone shots revealed scorched fields and destroyed neighborhoods in Stinnett, Texas, after the second largest wildfire in Texas history rages across the Panhandle.

The wildfire has blackened 850,000 acres of grasslands and timber since Monday and spread eastward across the border of Oklahoma, the Texas A&M Forest Service reported.

At least one person, an 83-year-old woman in Hutchinson County, was reported by local media to have died in the blaze.
