CBaron Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Saw on Twitter that reports have ranged from 50-120 acres burned with about 50% containment. It jumped 1431...but I don't know which side it began on. At least 1 appartment building a total loss. -CJB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinerider Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 (edited) I read last night that Deadwood/TLC/Too Soon all are affected. Dewayne is heading there tomorrow for a thursday ride, so we shall see. AJ Camp from Peddlers said they were using helo's to drop water in the area. Just read: Bulldozers also dug a containment line overnight through there. It will be drastically different. As of almost 6 a.m. Aug. 9, the “Parmer Lane Fire” in Williamson County is an estimated 50 acres and 40% contained.

AntonioGG Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 How did it jump over those houses without setting any of them on fire?! Sad for the people that lost their apartment and things, glad it wasn't worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRider3141 Posted August 10, 2023 Author Share Posted August 10, 2023 I can't find it now but there is video of people chasing fire through their lawns with a garden hose. HOA watering requirements probably saved most of those houses from burning too. My Neighborhood is a mixed bag of lush green or dead and toasty.

ATXZJ Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 (edited) Thats sucks man! Was there in july and hit SN on @Chief cross bike. Looks like you guys are losing one of the more fun/flowy trails in the area😕 Edited August 11, 2023 by ATXZJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntonioGG Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Fire is now 100% contained. Does anyone know where/how it started? What I've read said it jumped 1431 them jumped over the houses, but the winds recently are southerly winds, so that doesn't make sense to me.

From what I saw from the drone footage it got behind the apts on the side of Sonic. Got on the backside of them in the creek sort of north of where New Edition skirts the creek then burned along the creek north and followed it under 1431. It burned UNDER 1431 in the creek, it didn’t jump the road. Then got into the houses on the north side of 1431. The part I’m not sure of is how it got behind the apts in the creek. Saw some footage on FB of it burning by the Boy Scout bridge on the entrance to TLC. Don’t know if it went thru the yards in the complex straight east from TLC or did an end around on new edition to get back there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRider3141 Posted September 1, 2023 Author Share Posted September 1, 2023 I rode SN this morning, most of it is unchanged. Some of it was very surreal but the real loss was those apartments, yikes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was very still luckily but off trail the ash was up to several inches deep. A decent breeze could make that pretty unpleasant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
