Eastland County Wildfires

[Tmag]

For those that don't know, Jason Prossor's (aka Jaspros here) mother (Kay) and her family have a farm in Rising Star. Jason and his father were buried there. Jason lived there sometimes helping his grandfather and family before getting a job with TDC. I hope and pray they are doing well through this.

I was wondering about their place. Praying it is okay.

Chicken checked on them Friday, and they and the farm were good. Ranchers and firefighters had turned the fire 1/2 mile from them.

I have not heard anything since, but I will ask him to check.

We are sitting in May right now. 7 trucks with livestock trailers. Ready to haul if needed. The smoke smell is intense here now.

We responded to a Facebook post needing help now can’t get a hold of the people to help them. Hope they are ok

Problem is these fires are moving so fast that posted are already either OK or burned out by the time y’all got there.
Contact local fire dept or VfD, they should be able to point you in the right direction.

Thank you!

ditto that. Looks like the rain took a pretty good swath northward from Comanche to Ranger and further ...

I remember the last time there was big fires in this area in 2000s. That next summer my dad had a lease member throw a cigarette out in the middle of pasture. He asked him to pick it up and the guy looked at him weird. People don't understand it doesn't take much to start a fire.

Hoping Eastland county is getting some needed rain and knocking down the fires.

Not quite to the effected areas yet, but radar offers some hope!


Now- hopefully the lightening doesn’t set any off or that the rain quenches it quick!

My widowed MIL lives north of Bluffdale off CR148. She was mandatorily evacuated off her 40 acres yesterday afternoon and only had time to grab one cat, some pictures, and her medicine before heading to our house in Springtown. She was called last night by a neighbor that told her the fire had burned through her place and got to his. It was assumed that the house had burned with everything else but when she & my wife were finally escorted in around noon today the house had survived. She lost a couple of outbuildings & equipment, 3 vehicles, and a lot of pasture & trees. Unbelievably, the fire had burned grass/trees on all four sides but didn't take the house. It burned about 3/4 of the pasture that I had some cows in, but all the livestock, dogs, and other cats came out unscathed. Praise the Lord!!
