No one was injured after a barn caught fire in the 2100 block of Upper Branch Cove in the Dripping Springs area Sunday. Scott Collard, North Hays County Fire Rescue chief, said emergency officials were dispatched around 8:24 a.m. Sunday for a fully involved barn fire. Authorities arrived at the scene at 8:30 a.m. and remained on scene for about 90 minutes. While the barn was completely destroyed, Collard said there were no additional reports of damage to other structures. Eight trucks and 18 firefighters assisted in the fire. Sunday’s fire was the first of three major incidents North Hays County responded to over a two-day period. Fire crews responded to an abandoned building fire, which was followed by a grass fire on Monday. No injuries were reported in either incident.
