Brown Lumber Yard Destroyed in Spectacular Fire
A major fire destroyed the Brown Lumber Co yard in Robert Lee last Thursday afternoon. Firefighters from Robert Lee, Sterling City, Bronte, and the San Angelo Emergency Corps battled 25 to 30 mph winds as a 100 by 200 foot lumber shed burned, with 89,000 gallons of water aiding efforts. All 25 Robert Lee firefighters helped, aided by a bulldozer and volunteers. Damage ran into thousands, with stock losses and insurance insufficient to cover costs.
