    As a major fire engulfs multiple homes in a suburban residential area in Cedar Park, Texas, authorities have ordered a large-scale evacuation of residents. The fire, which started earlier today, quickly spread due to strong winds and dry conditions, posing a serious threat to the neighborhood's safety.
