Forest Fire

Forest_Fire_Cleveland_Lead

OK, I’ll admit that it was nothing like the fire that has burned thousands of acres of Arizona and is now moving into New Mexico, but size is relative to proximity, and this was a little too close to home.  Stars don’t look all that big from my back yard either, and no one I know ever suffered from star burn.

Fifteen area Fire Departments were involved yesterday, fighting a forest fire off FM 1010 about two miles south of Plum Grove (and about two miles north of the Boggy Thicket). The blaze was first reported around 2:20 p.m.

Authorities said four or five homes were evacuated as a precaution, but no structures were in immediate danger.

The fire burned about 140 acres before it was contained Sunday evening.

No injuries were reported.
