ANDREWS COUNTY -- A fire in Andrews County is now mostly contained.
The Texas Forest Service says that the Frying Pan Ranch fire is 90 percent contained. That blaze has burned 81,907 acres in the western parts of the county in the past week.
The fire broke out last Thursday near Eunice, NM and winds quickly pushed it towards Andrews. Luckily, those winds shifted and the blaze was sent into more rural parts of the county.
