While firefighters grapple with wildfires across Texas, a bit of good news emerged Monday: the Big L Fire is now "under control," Hood County officials said.

"It burned more than 11,000 acres. The evacuation order for the City of Lipan has been lifted," Hood County officials tweeted Monday.

"Firefighters set up a line at Star Hollow Road south of Lipan and that's where they stopped it from spreading," the tweet added.

Hood County, located on the Edwards Plateau, is part of the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington metro area. Erath County, to its west, is where two of North America's largest renewable natural gas plants are located.

2. As someone who has dealt with years...

...of fire in CA. We all have PTSD from the near misses over the last 5 years.

Good luck to everyone in the path of the Texas fires. Get out before they tell you to. No thing is worth the loss of your life.

At least you have a real President who cares instead of the baboon we had to deal with...
