The Chelan Hills Fire burned roughly 15.6 square miles, destroyed more than 100 structures and left one person dead. The victim has been identified as 69-year-old Robert Lister.

Evacuations are being ordered in rural Texas where a wildfire has quickly expanded to cover more than 78 square miles. The fire that began early Monday afternoon in a lightly populated area in north central Texas has ripped through the area. Schools are canceling classes and shelters have opened for residents and livestock. Wildfires have been popping up across the South and western U.S. in recent days as extremely dry conditions persist. The National Interagency Fire Center says a dozen new large fires were reported on Sunday alone. In Nevada, firefighters are making progress slowing down a wildfire that forced tens of thousands to evacuate in Reno over the weekend. Many are still out of their homes.
