FORT DAVIS -- The massive wildfire outside Fort Davis continues to grow.
The Rock House fire continues to expand to the west, and it's now burning 200,302 acres. Viewers in Balmorhea told Big 2 that there was a lot of smoke southwest of town Tuesday night.
Multiple crews continue to work on the control lines on the edge of the fire, as they try to keep it from spreading. They've been focusing on roads along the northwest perimeter of the fire.
The blaze started in Marfa on April 9th, and it burned dozens of buildings in Fort Davis. The fire is now 75 percent contained.
