The biggest active Texas wildfire is the 4,000-acre Chalk Mountain Fire about 50 miles southwest of Fort Worth. The fire, which began Monday afternoon, was just 10% contained after blackening about 4,000 acres (1,600 hectares) as of midday Tuesday, and crews using bulldozers were digging containment lines while fire trucks and aircraft worked to extinguish the flames, the forest service said. A red flag warning was issued for northern and central Texas.
