A fire in Pecos County continues to burn tonight after sparking three days ago. The Texas Forest Service says the Huckabee fire is 75% contained, and has already destroyed 98,000 acres of land. Luckily seven homes have been saved. But the Sherbino Wind Farm is just four miles from the edge of the fire. Oil and gas wells, ranches and homes have all been threatened. One property is a complete loss. Crews are using bulldozers, engines and an air attacker to fight the flames. ____(Odessa TV copy)This fire has been burning for 72 hours and has consumed 98,000 acres in Pecos County(Ft.Stockton). US Forest Service is trying to save a windfarm but lost several houses as this "parched" condition in Texas is a real "fire hazard". Don't burn outside!
