Firefighters Making Progess on Texas Wildfire

After weeks of heavy storms across the United States, firefighters in Texas are now battling wildfires.

Firefighters are making progress controlling a 15,000-acre wildfire in a small town near the Oklahoma-Texas border. As of Monday afternoon, only 50 percent of the wildfire has been contained.

Homes in the town of Wheeler, Texas were evacuated on Sunday as the wildfire became larger, and power was lost. But, the Texas Forest Service said power was restored by Sunday afternoon, and residents were allowed to return home.

The Texas Forest Service said the entire state will be under critical wildfire danger, as low humidity and high winds are forecasted.
