A North Texas wildfire is about 95 percent contained this morning.
Officials say the Cooke County "CW" fire has burned nearly 350 acres west of I-35, about three miles south of Gainesville High School.
The front of the fire was about a 1.5 miles wide and the forward progress was halted only 100 feet from a line of homes along County Road 372.
No homes were damaged but a few unoccupied outbuildings were burned along with some vehicles.
The Valley View Volunteer Fire Department says investigators believe it was started by a welder working on some metal, igniting dry grass.
