A mandatory evacuation order issued because of a wildfire in North Texas has been lifted as the threat of fires remained high Wednesday in the state due to hot temperatures, winds and drought conditions, officials said.
The fire has burned about 9 square miles , destroyed at least a dozen structures and was about 10% contained, Texas A&M Forest Services said.
County emergency management officials did not immediately return a phone call for comment early Wednesday.
