Guest guest Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 I heard on the news that they are thinking that someone welding on a fence is what started the fire that did so much damage in Cross Plains. If we don't get some rain here in Texas pretty soon we are all going to be in trouble.

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 Just about anything call set off these grass fires....I did hear something about someone welding on a fence is what caused the one at Cross Plains. Everything out here is tender box dry, so the danger of wild fires is really high. We have not had any rain at all in the past several months.
