Another fire in Bastrop

We can't catch a break. Another fire burning with structure loss already. Praying for our firefighters, for their safety and ability to get the fire under control soon.

From what I hear it's getting big quick too..!! DANGIT...

Started by a piece of farm equipment I hear.

Nothing acreage wise yet. They are evacuating areas now. Fire is in an area of extremely high fuel loads, based off a study that was just completed.
