A plane battled flames from the Salt Flat Fire in Texas.

The wildfire broke out in Corpus Christi, scorching an estimated 200 acres on Wednesday, April 9.

Footage shows thick black smoke billowing into the air as the blaze intensified.

Moments later, the tanker aircraft released a pink fire retardant in an effort to control the inferno.

Local media reported that emergency responders, including 42 agencies and over 250 personnel, have been battling the fire.

The disaster reportedly destroyed six homes, nine outbuildings, and two camper trailers.

As of Friday, the fire is 85 per cent contained, and Highway 35 has been reopened to traffic.
