Evacuation orders were in place across parts of several central Texas counties late Thursday as crews worked to contain the flames in dangerous fire weather -- fueled by strong winds and dry conditions.
The wildfires, which combined to form the Eastland Complex blaze, had charred at least 14,800 acres by nighttime, said Kari Hines, a spokesperson with the Texas A&M Forest Service.
Evacuation orders were in effect for portions of Eastland, Brown and Comanche counties, Hines said, adding that no injuries had been reported so far.
