The Smokehouse Creek Fire, the largest wildfire in Texas history that has already killed two people, was 15 percent contained Friday and temporarily stopped spreading thanks to rain the day before, according to local authorities.

The fire is now still burning more than 430,000 hectares, but for the most part “precipitation yesterday has slowed it down and the fire is not progressing,” the Texas Forest Service wrote on Friday.

“Crews will be concentrated on the northern edge of the fire and areas around populated areas,” he added.

However, the respite could be short-lived.

“Fire-dangerous conditions are expected to resume by noon Saturday” and Sunday, the local weather service (NWS Amarillo) said, mainly due to very dry vegetation and wind.

Three other, smaller fires are also active in this region of North Texas near the city of Amarillo. The largest of the three fires, the Windy Deuce Fire, is approximately 57,000 acres and 55 percent contained.

Local media reported two deaths: an 83-year-old woman who died in a house fire in the small town of Stinnett, and a 44-year-old woman who died after suffering serious injuries when the truck she was driving caught fire.

“Texas continues to increase manpower and equipment to fight this very dangerous wildfire,” Gov. Greg Abbott said Thursday on the X, thanking firefighters who are “working around the clock to keep Texans safe.”
