Mano Prieto is  residential community just south of Fort Davis. Homes burnt in that area belong to the Wrights, Tommy Burns, and Brian Mutch - as well as the guest house to the Bonnie & Franklin House.  Various smaller structures burnt.

110409 Update Radio Report filed late Saturday afternoon.

Dozens of damaged and lost buildings in Fort Davis. KRTS not currently releasing names of home-owners until all are contacted; some home owners were out-of-town during the blaze. Other residents fought valiantly against the home fires, alongside fire fighters. KRTS will be hearing from these first responders later today.
