Rodrigo Rodriquez; his wife, Mary Elaine; and their nine dogs enter the gym at Loma Alta Middle school, where some residents took shelter on Sunday, March 27, 2022.The Das Goat Fire burning near Medina Lake, which has destroyed nearly 1,100 acres, is 50 percent contained, officials with the Texas A&M Forest Service said.
Three homes have been lost since the fire started late Friday. No injuries or deaths have been reported. The blaze started after a vehicle driving along a road caught fire, James Wettstaed with the Forest Service said. When the driver pulled over, the sparks hit nearby grass and brush, igniting the wildfire.
Weather played a critical part, Wettstaed said, rapidly spreading the flames across land heavily loaded with dry grass and brush.“That combination for us has been really bad,” Wettstaed said. Officials hope that slightly improving weather conditions will help them contain the rest of the fire. Monday is expected to have a higher relative humidity.
