Anybody out that way. We have friends that had to evacuate, but they didn't lose their home.

A Facebook post from Bastrop County ESD 2 says the 50 firefighters on scene have been able to fight the fire around every home, and none have been lost so far. Fire Chief Josh Gill says there were 15 structures threatened, and 24 had to be evacuated.

Yes! Was out at Colo Vista playing golf today and looked behind me towards the end of our round and there was a massive cloud of smoke. Was wondering what it was. 

Hopefully they got it contained.

"Texas Parks and Wildlife said it was doing a prescribed burn in the area at Bastrop State Park earlier Tuesday, along Park Road 1C."

So, its really dry and its really windy.  Seems like a great time to do a prescribed burn.

Would really suck if it did damage to the scout camp. Had so many good times out there and my dad helps cook for Scouts all the time. Gdi. Did they really try to do a fucking controlled burn today??

A controlled burn is like a controlled fart.  It can turn to shit real quick.

wait. They warn about increased wild fire condition being bad today but they go ahead with a prescribed burn? They could have postponed that for a better day. Now it is up to 600 acres. Way to go, morons.

Looks like it was Texas Parks & Wildlife.

Watching this new conference does not give me a lot of confidence in their ability to deal with this. 

It was bad. Real bad. The goofball with his sunny disposition ended with "Pray for rain and pray for calm, folks!"

No shit. Aggy forest service cowboy ends it by saying to pray for rain.

Pine needles and underbrush?

I dread the day that lightning or another source strikes the ranch we hunt on and the place catches fire.  
 

The place has so much deadfall and underbrush trash it will burn like no other.  It really does need a good burn off and it will be massive when it happens.

I was lucky enough to have a neighbor next to our ranch burn brush on a red flag day 3 years ago. We lost several oaks that were struggling with the drought and it burned 50 acres or so. Thankfully the winds were in our favor and the VFD saved all our structures. We had fire 50 feet behind our barn... 

 

I cant imagine the idiocy that went into green lighting this burn.  Stupid

Is it wrong that I care more about the pine trees than Circle D estates or whatever the fuck?  Some of them were finally starting to look respectable again.

fucking aggy
