The fire has intensified due to dry soil, high temperatures, and strong winds in the area. Hundreds of firefighters and first responders are currently deployed to combat the blaze.
The National Weather Service has also issued warnings to residents near Amarillo, advising them to stay indoors with their pets due to the poor air quality in the city.
