Lubbock Fire Rescue responded to what was originally a call for a grass fire at 3:40 p.m. on Wednesday near N. Regis St. and N. Guava Ave. Due to the call being a grass fire, LFR said one engine responded to the scene.
That engine quickly ran out of water and other agencies and engines were called to the scene. The property, per LFR, sits between the city limit line and the county line, meaning no hydrants or water resources were nearby. While waiting for help, fire crews observed the fire spread to RVs, box trucks, school buses and a nearby structure on the property. After battling the fire for some hours, LFR says the fire was contained and extinguished as of 6:30 p.m. One person was taken to the hospital for minor burn injuries. The State Fire Marshalโs Office is investigating was started the blaze.
