Greg Abbott on Friday issued a disaster declaration for 11 counties threatened by a massive wildfire that has burned dozens of homes and left a sheriff’s deputy dead.Several blazes burning about 100 miles west of Fort Worth since Thursday grew and combined into a 70-square mile behemoth now called the Eastland Complex Fire, said the Texas A&M Forest Service.At least 50 homes have been destroyed and nearly 500 others evacuated in the surrounding communities, as flames fueled by wind, have eaten through thousands of acres of extremely dry grass.
