Grass Fires Strain Burnet County Firefighters
Four grass fires broke out in Burnet County within an hour on Monday afternoon. The Old Mormon Mill Road and Old Bertram Road incidents burned hundreds of acres as volunteers and Lampasas units fought the flames with shovels, brush switches, and water wagons before noon and into the mid afternoon. Marble Falls and deputies assisted as the blazes moved quickly under a brisk northwest wind.
