http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6T3TeCA-Kqkendofvid[starttext](Reuters) - Videos of Wildfires that have burned hundreds of 1000's of acres in Texas crept closer to the Dallas-Fort Value region on Tuesday, razing some upscale properties close to a lake and threatening hundreds far more homes.
The fires started out in sparsely populated west Texas and have moved east, helped by bone dry circumstances and winds whipping up the flames.
Just west of the main town of Fort Really worth, the towns of Strawn, Bunger and many communities about Possum Kingdom Lake have been evacuated and Graham, the county seat of Youthful County, is now threatened, in accordance to Texas Forest Support officials.
The wildfires in that place alone have covered virtually a hundred and fifty,000 acres so significantly, officials claimed.
These fires threaten more than 600 households and have destroyed dozens of residences, officials explained. The wildfires pushed into the region on Monday, razing upscale properties along Possum Kingdom Lake.
The fires also closed the Possum Kingdom Fish Hatchery, positioned just under the lake's reservoir dam, in accordance to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. The 103-acre facility close to Graford is exactly where fingerlings are created for stocking Texas waters.
Possum Kingdom State Park was evacuated final Friday ahead of wildfires that burned 90 percent of the one,500-acre park on the south shore of Possum Kingdom Lake and slightly damaged two buildings and two of three sewage remedy method liners. No 1 was injured, parks division officials stated.
U.S. Forest Services firefighters, joined by 14 Texas State Park firefighters, continued currently to keep an eye on the park for flames inside the thick stands of juniper trees and to support fight fires close to the fish hatchery and nearby communities.
Two other state parks that have been threatened by the wildfires in north and west Texas in previous days -- San Angelo State Park and Lake Arrowhead State Park -- stay open.
Davis Mountains State Park, which suffered wildfire damage last week, stays closed as does historic Indian Lodge that is positioned inside the park. A base camp for hundreds of firefighters has been set up within the state park.
