A grass fire destroyed several homes in the Dallas suburb of Balch Springs on Tuesday amid triple-digit temperatures and dry conditions. 

A scorched field could be seen next to a freeway in southeast Dallas as fires raged at several homes along the outer edge of a subdivision. 

At least 14 homes were destroyed, according to Fox 4 Dallas, though the fire is still spreading and this number could change.
