Where’d you see that? I’d heard it was the largest in Texan history but for US history there’s one crazy outlier from the early 1800s in Maine that somehow burned over 3mil acres and I don’t think this one has surpassed that yet
Authorities said 1,640 square miles (4,248 square kilometers) of the fire were on the Texas side of the border. Previously, the largest fire in recorded state history was the 2006 East Amarillo Complex fire, which burned about 1,400 square miles (3,630 square kilometers) and resulted in 13 deaths.
It’s the largest now.

I think the one in Maine was mostly in Canada so the portion in the US was smaller.
