There are many wildfires in Texas at this moment but two in particular have left two small towns devastated.

A Montague County Sheriff's Dispatcher confirmed Friday that two people had died when fire engulfed their home. Family members identified the dead couple as former WFAA reporter Matt Quinn and his wife, Cathy. Their son, Chris, was reported in fair condition with burns at Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas.

The towns of Sunset and Stoneburg in Montague County were also devastated. Several dozen homes were destroyed with only scraps of debris and ashes remaining. The fires that swept through were among a total of approximately 25,000 acres of fires in the county that initiated the evacuations of Montague, Bowie, and Saint Jo about 60 miles Northwest of Fort Worth, Tx.

Electra - A more than 5,000-acre wildfire destroying agricultural buildings and warehouses. A wichita County Sheriff's representative said that think black smoke from the burning debris prompted the shutdown of sections of U.S. Highway 287 for several hours.

Clay County - 20,000 acres and a dozen structures burned to the ground near the town of Bellevue. The high winds in most areas precluded the aerial efforts but plans were to resume Friday if weather conditions permitted it.

In West Texas, a 35,000-acre fire in Young and Jack counties had lost at least seven homes and approximately 3 dozen other structures.

Archer County - Three homes were destroyed as firefighters battled a 4,000-acre fire.

Brown County - One home was destroyed as firefighters battled a 1,000-acre fire near Bangs, TX.

According to the Texas Forest Service, fires are also burning in parts of Hamilton, Jones, Wise, Cooke, San Saba, Palo Pino, and Hood counties. To add, the U.S. Drought Monitor released a statistic that more that 90 percent of Texas was in some stage of drought.
