Texas wildfires live updates: Hot weather warning as state's biggest blaze spreads

What to know about Texas wildfires

• The Smokehouse Creek Fire, covering an area larger than Rhode Island, is already the biggest in Texas history.
• The fire covers more than 1 million acres, or 1,600 square miles, and is only 5% contained, according to the Texas A&M Forest Service, and covers tens of thousands of acres in Oklahoma.
• Two people have been confirmed dead. Former substitute teacher Joyce Blankenship, 83, was found dead at her home, family members said. Cindy Owens, believed to be in her 40s, from Amarillo, died yesterday, two days after she got out of her truck in Canadian and the fire "overtook her," officials said.
• There are four other active wildfires and the National Weather Service warns that heat and high winds are likely to cause "critical fire weather conditions again" over the weekend.
