Texas Forest Service reporting that this fire is the Number One priority in the State. Between 40-50 homes lost in and around Fort Davis. Number of structures lost much higher. It was a fast-moving and expanding fire on Saturday afternoon / evening.

Limpia Crossing & High Frontier was defended. Structure protection occurring in Fort Davis this morning. CDRI intact, though much of the grass is burned.

The focus is on the east flank of the fire - due to projected winds out of the west.
