VIDEO: Communities across San Patricio County are offering support and recalling as crews continue to battle the Mill fire in Gregory. The fire, which burned approximately 13.8 acres, prompted a multi-agency response and stirred difficult memories for residents in nearby Sinton.
Just six months ago, two separate fires tore through 17 homes and burned over 700 acres in that community. โIt was pretty much a tragedy. A lot of people lost their homes,โ said Sinton resident Mark Smith.
At the scene of the Gregory fire, crews from across the county worked together, including departments from Sinton, Taft, Ingleside and others.
โReach out to your community. That’s about the only thing I could say,โ Smith added. โThat’s what happened here. A lot of people reached out and helped the people that needed the help.โ
