The situation in Texas is part of a broader pattern of wildfires across the southern United States, with Arkansas and Florida also reporting significant fire outbreaks.
In Arkansas, firefighters are battling multiple fires, with the state's dry conditions exacerbating the spread.

The concurrent wildfires across these states highlight the severe drought and high temperatures affecting the region.
