Bigger in Texas? Three Wildfires Combine Near Ft. Hood

 

Coryell County, Texas - Authorities in central Texas say a wildfire has burned at least 17,452 acres.

 

Coryell County Emergency Management Director Robert Harrell says the fire began as three separate blazes in and around Fort Hood, and combined into one fire complex on Sunday while moving to the north. 

 

Robert Harrell, Coryell County Emergency Management Director said, "So right now, we're not expecting any more evacuations and Flat was under an evacuation earlier. I don't know the status of that yet, but if you're out of your home right now, I recommend you just stay where you're at for now."

Together, the blaze is now being called the Crittenburg Complex.
