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.

Strong winds from a recent storm in the south sent a US Customs and Border Protection surveillance blimp flying nearly 600 miles across Texas.

So far, DFW has not seen any major fires, but the extreme threat continues into Friday afternoon. North Texas fire departments have increased staffing and more tools on hand, responding with more than the typical number of engines.
