Fires At Lake Buchanan Burn Land And Vehicle
Brisk winds contributed to three fires around Lake Buchanan this week. A Mercury car owned by a lodge guest burned at Circle S Lodge near Tow, a total loss. A grass fire at Shroyer’s Lodge was stopped before damage occurred. The Monday blaze between Circle M Lodge and Shroyers burned dense woodland as Llano VFD fought the flames with help from Fitzsimons Ranch, J B Love, Burnet FD, and nearby residents, possibly burning about a hundred acres though officials could not confirm the exact figure.
