Ross Fire Burns 50K Acres in Texas | Dallas News
Description
The Ross Fire is roaring through Palo Pinto and Jack counties, devouring 50,000 acres since it erupted on Monday, August 24th, 2026—with over 25,000 acres already gone in Palo Pinto alone. Evacuations are underway near Halsell Ranch Road and FM 4, as flames push north and triple-digit heat fuels the blaze. Five structures are confirmed lost, schools canceled, and crews battle hot spots along U.S. Highway 180 and key roads. Smoke lingers, conditions remain dangerous, and officials urge everyone to stay away from affected zones while firefighters work to contain the inferno.
