CNN is reporting that the massive fire burning in Texas maybe the biggest fire in Texas history

Texas Forest Service officials on Sunday braced for what could be one of the worst days in the state's history for battling wildfires, according to the agency.

No new fires were reported Sunday morning, though the real dangers would probably surface in the afternoon, Texas Forest Service spokesman Alan Craft said.

Relentless heavy winds and dry weather, according to the Forest Service, could even spawn a rash of wildfires similar to those that swept across the Southern Plains states on April 9, 2009. Those fires, the agency stated on its website, scorched 147,924 acres, destroyed 111 homes and killed four people.

It's amazing that some trees need a fire to reproduce!!

"with the cones remaining closed for many years, until a forest fire kills the mature trees and opens the cones, reseeding the burnt ground."
