Thanks to my friends at the NJ Forest Fire Service Section B10 website who shared the video that I embedded above, I learned about the Roughneck Fire which I believe was first reported on Sunday, March 4th. I did find some information about this fire on the Texas A&M Forest Service Incident Viewer (accessed March 4 at 1:50 PM); they say that the fire has burned 300 acres in Hutchinson County (in the Texas Panhandle) and is at 50 percent containment.
In the meantime, here is a report from Fox4 Dallas-Fort Worth on folk pitching in to help those devastated by the wildfires in the Texas Panhandle.

Some news media coverage of the wildfires in the Texas Panhandle (thanks to Mike Archer of Wildfire News of the Day), most include photos.
- USA Today (March 2) Interactive Texas Wildfire Map (scroll to bottom)
- Fox31 on Air Tankers working the Smokehouse Fire, with video
- ABC7 Amarillo on CL-415 Scoopers working the Windy Deuce Fire
- Amarillo Globe-News on the Roughneck Fire
Lastly, but by no means least, here is todays report on the larger wildfires burning in the Texas Panhandle. I am especially interested in all the air resources available to the wildfires in the Texas Panhandle: 3 large airtankers, 2 scoopers, 2 lead airplanes, 6 SEATs, 2 Chinook helicopters, 1 Blackhawk helicopters and 1 Type 3 helicopter.
