Steve J Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Hey guys. The news reports said that 40 homes were evacuated on CR 233. Give us an update if you can. How is DP doing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 They're OK. They could see the flames in the field across the road and had to evacuate everybody (along with the powder and test-fire ammo) for a while, so they're trying to catch up as best they can now.

That's great news! Too close for comfort though. Hope no one in the area suffered any serious losses. Isn't LaRue Tactical on that same road a mile or two down from Dawson?

Paul Burtchell Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Good news, indeed. Hope no one lost anything of value. We need some of the rain that Benny, Larry, Merlin, Eric and the rest of the Coastal Bend guys have been getting hit with. Glad DP was unharmed.

They used to be just down the road from each other. Thats what I was thinking - I remember going to the LaRue Shop a couple years ago and it wasn't that far away. Anyone know if Dawson's storefront is open on Saturdays - need to pick up some OPEN mag parts!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve J Posted August 9, 2008 Author Share Posted August 9, 2008 Doug, Doug, Doug... silly rabbit. Weekends are for shooting, not working. Glad DP's side of the road was spared. Beautiful country there. No "major" losses. That's good. Update: Crews say Florence grass fire 100 percent contained 8/9/2008 1:08 PM By: News 8 Austin Staff Fire crews said they have the brush fire in Florence 100 percent contained, but they're still watching closely for hot spots. That fire, which began Thursday afternoon, burned more than 3,700 acres, and caused the evacuation of about 60 homes along 195. The Red Cross set up an emergency shelter at Florence Middle School, but everybody was allowed to return home Thursday night. Fire crews returned to the scene Friday morning. They said low winds and high humidity helped keep the fire from spreading. Emergency crews from more than 15 departments handled the fires that threatened 150 structures. Only two abandoned buildings were lost. No injuries were reported, and the cause of the fire is being investigated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJPoLo Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 That's the second fire that had the potential to wipe out DP's facility. <phew!> We need some rain!!! -Chet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AustinMike Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 The fields are downright crispy out here in Hutto. Doesn't stop morons from flicking cigarettes out their windows along 1660. Geez, I hope it rains soon! The winds were brisk yesterday, which was making me nervous. Grass fire would not be good right now! Glad to hear DP is OK!
