BASTROP, TX -- Firefighters are tamping
down hotspots and holding back flames from
a wildfire that has burned for days across
Central Texas, incinerating nearly 1,400
homes and tens of thousands of acres of
drought-parched land, officials said Friday.
The fire in and around Bastrop,
about 25 miles east of Austin, officially
remained 30 percent contained, but crews
had surrounded and closed in on the flames
and no new homes were reported destroyed
overnight.
Keep
Your Head Up, Bastrop
