Evacuations have been issued for many Taylor County residents. As of Wednesday night, the fire was 10% contained and had burned more than 1,500 acres.

“Many roads are being closed and people are being asked to leave their homes,” stated Rusty Freeze, U-Haul Company of West Texas president. “We want to support this community during a difficult time by providing a secure place for victims to store their belongings at no cost for one month.”
