A cold front is blowing through Central Texas Tuesday night with wind gusts up to 30 miles an hour. That is likely to increase the wildfire risk.
That 55-acre brush fire burned hot and fast. At one point, the flames threatened a school, jail, and neighborhood. Wind shifts prevented any damage. “Because of the lack of rain, the humidity level, and the wind it is just the perfect storm, so to speak, for fire. Basically, it just doesn’t take anything for one to start and then it burns rapidly,” said Chris Cowan, Assistant Fire Marshal, Travis County Fire Rescue ESD No. 11.
