Firefighters from multiple departments, with help from state agencies, battled a fast-moving fire that scorched 60 acres near Blessing in Matagorda County last week. Officials say the blaze started from a controlled burn that spread due to dry conditions, destroying about 100 hay bales and threatening nearby structures. Crews managed to contain the fire, ith damages estimated at $10,000. Officials warn residents to be cautious, as dry vegetation from recent freezes increases fire risk. Officials may consider a burn ban if conditions worsen.
