No one was injured when a home went up in flames along Ranch Road 12 near Dripping Springs Dec. 9.
Scott Collard, North Hays County Fire Chief, said the structure, located in the 27000 block of Ranch Road 12 was mostly destroyed.
The cause of the fire is unknown at this time and the Hays County Fire Marshal’s office is currently investigating.
Collard said upwards of 12 units were on scene, which had to navigate up a long, narrow driveway to the residence. Fire crews hauled water from hydrants to the scene. North Hays County crews were on scene for several hours as they worked to extinguish the blaze.
The Dec. 9 fire was the last of three the department responded to over the course of a 48-hour period last week. The first involved a fire at a barn located on Ella Lane on Dec. 8. Collard said no people or animals were injured in the barn fire, which was determined to be accidental in origin. Five units responded to help put out the barn blaze.
Several hours later, North Hays crews were dispatched to a controlled burn in the Dripping Springs area where construction equipment caught fire. No one was injured in the incident and only three units responded to the incident.
