    The fire out by hwy 45 has been contained a time are two, but with the winds we have it keeps rekindling. Forest team was in charge but it got out of control again about noon and they requested brush trucks from Goldthwaite. When Gwaite got there they requested units from Bwood, and all fire trucks from surrounding towns. Last I heard it's up to 2500 acres now and 30% contained, but this was a few hours ago.

        As of 16:34, Buffalo Creek fire in Mills county was at 2500 acre and only 30% contained, a massive jump from 13:05 when it was 1200 acre and 60% contained. TIFMAS resources were deployed around 14:00.

            With the forest service involved, it’s guaranteed to get much bigger.
