Fire in Jeff Davis County

"There it was, mobile home after mobile home. Detonations every five minutes." David Butson, owner of the Overland Trail Campground in Fort Davis, describing the fire in Fort Davis Saturday evening.

He described no water. No electricity, no Internet, no radio. He said no major fires now (12:40 AM Sunday) in town. Though he sees a glow to the east. Worried about wind shifts overnight.

As earlier reported, the fire spread north to Wild Rose Pass.

KRTS wondered where evacuees could stay. So we contacted Presidio County Judge Paul Hunt. In Marfa, you may call 432-729-4838 for housing. Come to the radio station or the fire station if you seek housing tonight.
