Fire scorches 2 acres, destroys shed and pump house south of Marble Falls
MARBLE FALLS – Fire crews battled a 2-acre pasture fire Aug. 5 that destroyed two outbuildings south of the city just off FM 2147 East.
At least two people were evacuated from a residence near the outbuildings in the 400 block of Graham Road, officials said.
The call came in shortly before 3:45 p.m.
“They were at home, but the fire didn’t get in the residence,” said Terry White, chief of the Marble Falls Area Volunteer Fire Department. “(The fire destroyed) a pump house and a storage shed.”
Crews from the Cottonwood Shores and Spicewood volunteer fire departments also helped get the runaway blaze under control in about 30 minutes, White said.
“The heat combined with the wind, it made the fire go so much faster,” he added.
White said investigators are trying to determine the cause of the fire.
No injuries were reported.
