Sunrise Beach FD/ESD5 Sends Help to Llano County Task Force

The Crabapple fire in Gillespie County has scorched an estimated 8,640 acres and is now 40% contained—a significant improvement from 0% containment late Saturday. Firefighters have completed a containment line from Highway 16 to FM 1631, with efforts ongoing to establish additional lines from Highway 16 to Lower Crabapple Road on the fire’s left flank and southern side. Engine crews remain focused on structure protection as breezy conditions and dropping humidity pose ongoing challenges. 

 

Sunrise Beach FD/ESD5 has a brush truck currently attached to a Llano County Task Force assisting with burn out operations on Ranch Road 1631. We have additional crews staffing district stations today in case of additional fire start occur.
