The Texas Forest Service said a vegetation fire has burned about 10,000 acres as of 7:30 a.m. CDT Thursday, 70 miles southwest of Corpus Cristi, Texas in Brooks County. The fire started at the King Ranch east of Encino.

Hi,

The King Ranch is 825,000 acres or 1,289 sq miles, is the largest ranch in Texas & the USA. That is larger than Rhode Island. Try & rake that Pal !
