It took only ten minutes for fire crews to extinguish a barn fire that occurred along Spring Valley Drive in north Dripping Springs Monday.
According to Scott Collard, North Hays County Fire Rescue chief, no residents, emergency personnel or animals were injured in the incident.
Collard said the NHCFR along with San Marcos Hays County EMS were dispatched to the 2300 block of Spring Valley Drive around 1:30 p.m. Monday for a reported barn fire.
When first responders arrived, they discovered a pole barn type structure was ablaze.
Fourteen firefighters responded to the fire, which was brought under control within ten minutes.
Firefighters remained on scene to extinguish smoldering items for about another hour after that.
The cause of the fire is under investigation by the Hays County Fire Marshal’s office.
