Forest Fire In Leander Texas!

30 acre forest fire in Leander Texas 78641. I was about 50 ft-100 ft away from it. I got pretty close shot of the fire. Closest one in. Fire is still happening now. Neighborhood is gonna go down. :/

UPDATE: The fire is 100% contained now. It burned up 30 acres of land and destroyed 15 homes. It also damaged 7 homes as well. 189 homes were evacuated from the area, but most of the evacuees got to return home around 10:00 PM. By Tuesday morning, just 16 homes remained under evacuation orders including 15 mobile homes in a mobile home park off Horseshoe Drive.

Man, these fires here in Texas are bad this year, had one close to home in Gatesville/Ft. Hood.

Thanks for video. PLEASE don't be fooled by Rick Perry who is supposedly coming to the rescue. What we need are Texas own National Guard NOT the horrible FED FUNDED FEMA group who end up messing things up. They are hampering Texas services that could quickly stop these fires. Perry pushed Gardisil shots on young girls, tried to sell Texas Highways to foreign interests and he LIES LIES LIES. Read the book "End the Fed" and support Dr. Ron Paul for 2012.

I was leaving my neighborhood the other day and noticed the black smoke and didn't hear any sirens. I was nearby so I drove over there and got to see it before the fire department showed up. I left when I heard them coming. It took forever to stop it.
