Evacuation orders in place as blazes burn through parts of central Texas

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.

His message: they had to choose one career lawyer to file a dismissal of the corruption charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams, according to three people briefed on the meeting.
