We are so very thankful that the fires are out! My goodness! Thank you Lord for the dedication of the men and women that fought these fires, and the many others who helped in so many ways! We mourn the loss of the two people who were killed and for all folks that lost their homes, farms and livestock. I pray that the American people will respond to this tragedy and also be in prayer for all who are suffering.

LUBBOCK — Firefighters have completely contained the Smokehouse Creek fire in Hutchinson County after a nearly three-week battle with what quickly became the largest wildfire in Texas history. That inferno and a series of other wildfires killed at least two people as it burned more than 1 million acres across several counties.
Many Panhandle residents lost homes, farms and ranches. Thousands of livestock were killed.
Relief efforts in the region are ongoing. The U.S. Small Business Administration has set up disaster loan outreach centers in Canadian and Borger for people affected. More Here
