The latest on the rapidly growing Smokehouse Creek Fire in Texas - CNN
Live updates: Texas, Oklahoma Smokehouse Creek Fire
Crews from different parts of Texas are coming together to help fight the raging Smokehouse Creek Fire. One crew from the Fort Worth Fire Department traveled nearly 300 miles to assist.
Along the way, firefighters captured dramatic video of smoke from the massive fire blocking out the sky, tinting the entire area in an eerie sepia hue.
In the video, glowing orange flames rage on the side of the road, their advance thwarted by pavement but threatening to jump to the other side.
As the crew drives deeper into the smoke, burning embers blow across the vehicle's windshield as everything turns orange.
Emerging from the thickest smoke, the video shows bright flames burning on both sides of the roadway.
With a fire as large as Smokehouse Creek, impacts spread beyond what burns. Smoke from this fire is forecast to overspread the western half of Texas through the afternoon before winds shift later Wednesday evening.
