PECOS COUNTY --  A wildfire complex in Pecos County is now mostly contained.
   
    The Cannon Fire, D.H.R. Fire and Little Smokey Fire are all 90 percent contained. Those fires have burned more than 63,000 acres in eastern Pecos County.
   
    The fires were started by lightning strikes almost two weeks ago, and high winds helped spread the blaze last week.
