Update: Pronews 7 just got off the phone with the Carson County Judge, Lewis Powers. Judge Powers told us the fire is located 8 miles northeast of 136 and FM 1342. He said the fire is in rough terrain but that crews have narrowed it down, and that the majority of the fire was contained but that the leading edge was still spreading. Sheriff Deputies tell our crews the fire started around the Charless Ranch and is moving in a southwestern direction. Most of the land is pasture land, we are told that no homes are in the path of the fire. Judge Powers said the fire has already burned between 500-1,000 acres.
