“Progress has been made, but fire activity has picked up with rising temperatures and lower humidity,” officials said.

Fire crews in Texas made progress Saturday against a massive complex of wildfires that have killed a deputy sheriff and burned at least 50 homes, officials said.

"Progress has been made, but fire activity has picked up with rising temperatures and lower humidity," said Matt Ford, spokesperson for Texas A&M Forest Services. 

About 30% of the flames have been contained.
