Fire crews from Hutto and Round Rock are among those working what’s called the Crittenburg Complex fire. The fire is located near Gatesville, most of the 32,000 acres of land that has burned so far is on Fort Hood.
"This is not going to be a 48-hour fire, this fire is going to last several days if not weeks," said Mary Leathers with the Texas A&M Forest Service.
That kind of strategy, back building small fires, later did come into play. It was an attempt to reduce the amount of dry grass feeding the flames, but it had limited success. Fire breaks held on Sunday night, saving the community of Flat. Residents returned home with no structures were lost, and no injuries reported."I was thinking are they going to put out the fires or are the fires spreading more," said 8-year-old Hubbard Kinsey.
