Image: NPS / M. Woolley (National Park Service) A fire at Big Bend National Park that has burned for nearly a week has grown to at least 863 acres. The National Park Service, which oversees the park in Far West Texas, said Monday that much of the fire is located in the “sky island” in the high Chisos Mountains. The blaze has “left a patchy mosaic of scorched, burned, slightly singed, and untouched areas across the South Rim to Emory Peak, and into the lower Boot Canyon drainage,” officials said, adding that about two-thirds of the fire became stagnant after reaching rocky terrain or the edges of cliffs.
