Residents of Bastrop, still regrouping from last month’s devastating wildfires, saw fresh smoke on the horizon this week. Another wildfire erupted in Bastrop County, burning through thousands of acres of brush. Firefighters were more prepared to handle the fast-moving fire, though, as resources weren’t stretched as thin as before. Aircraft used to fight fires were immediately dispatched, and the fire was contained at a faster rate than during the September fire. Although evacuations were recommended, no homes were reported damaged.
