Strong winds and dry conditions are fueling wildfires and increasing threats across Texas.Climate researchers have said the ingredients are in place for a wildfire threat North Texas hasn't seen in at least 10 years.

Wildfires are nothing new to South Texans. With rising temperatures and ongoing dry conditions, Texas faces an increased risk of wildfires.

Fire officials weren't declaring victory over the 9.700-acre Crabapple Fire, as windy conditions increase the risk it could again spread.

The Crabapple Fire is now over halfway contained, according to officials. The fire has burned nearly 10,000 acres in Gillespie County.

Fire crews in Gillespie County and Texas A&M Forest Service are continuing to battle the large blaze that began Saturday at around 1 p.m.

In Oklahoma alone, more than 150 blazes were burning, which have destroyed almost 300 structures and killed at least one person.

The National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center warned of "near historic" fire conditions in the Plains.
