Crews continue to work to control a large brush fire in Cedar Park. Officials said one building has been destroyed at an apartment complex.
The Cedar Park Fire Chief said at 6:18 p.m. on August 8, a call of a grass fire came in. Shortly after, firefighters were on the scene.
Residents of Whitestone and Bexley at Silverado are able to access units and homes except for Bexley's Apartment Building 10 which is the one that is a total loss. Crews are working to restore power to the buildings. Officials note that due to the ongoing firefighting operations that only residents should go to the area.
"I just opened my back door, saw the blaze. I heard the sirens like for 15 minutes. I didn't think anything of it," said Isaac Anzaldua, one of the evacuated residents. "The first thing I saw was my car and flames right behind it. So I just grabbed my keys. I didn't put any shoes on. I had shoes in my car. I just got out of there, man."
