The Smokehouse Creek Fire, the largest blaze in Texas history and one of the largest in the country has been contained nearly three weeks after it broke out due to a falling electrical poll.
The blaze burnt more than 1 million acres of grassland in the state’s panhandle region.

Xcel Energy acknowledged in a statement on March 7 that its facilities appear to have been involved in an ignition of the Smokehouse Creek Fire.

Separately, the Windy Deuce Fire, which incinerated more than 100,000 acres, is also under control, meaning that it has been stopped from spreading. The blazes have transitioned back to local units who will continue to monitor for developments.
