Many Texas counties are sparsely populated and lack fire fighting resources.
The Texas A&M Forest Service keeps rural Texas from burning up.

WW II munitions are stored at a site in that forest. Those are exploding as the fire spreads.

The most populous county in Texas hasn't needed to request help from the state.

US firefighter called to house blaze fears 10 of his relatives killed
5 August 2022, 22:24
A criminal investigation has been launched into the fire in Pennsylvania.
A volunteer firefighter who responded to a blaze in Pennsylvania has said he fears all 10 victims are members of his family.
Nescopeck firefighter Harold Baker told a local newspaper that the victims expected to be found in the house included his son, daughter, father-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, three grandchildren and two other relatives.
The fire in Nescopeck was reported at around 2.30am. One person was found dead inside the single-family home shortly after emergency responders arrived while two other victims were found later in the morning. A criminal investigation has been launched.
The dead children were aged five, six and seven while the oldest victim was 70.

The Route Fire is less than fifteen miles from where my daughter lives. She’s prepared to evacuate but hasn’t had to yet, as far as I know.

The Mosquito Fire has canceled the mr’s river trip next weekend. They were to be smack dab in the middle of it on the American River.
A few weeks ago he posted pics of kayaking on the Kern after a fire. The water looked like oil, slick and black.
