One year after devastating Panhandle wildfires, Canadian resident reflects on the work of rebuilding
Sign up for The Brief, The Texas Tribune’s daily newsletter that keeps readers up to speed on the most essential Texas news.
One year ago, the largest wildfire in state history ripped through the Texas Panhandle, leaving a trail of destruction. Since then, Remelle Farrar and other Panhandle residents have begun to rebuild, even as the threat of another fire looms.
In this one-on-one conversation with the Tribune’s South Plains and Panhandle reporter, Jayme Lozano Carver, Farrar discusses how the town of Canadian survived and why she has decided to stay in this remote part of the state.
This recorded interview will be available to watch on-demand beginning at 2 p.m. Thursday, March 20, at texastribune.org/events.
