The cause of the 500-acre wildfire in Liberty Hill, known as the San Gabriel Fire, is unknown at this time.
"Our neighborhood, I described it as apocalyptic, you couldn't see the sky and the sun was covered by ashes and we had debris and ashes in and around our area so we turned our sprinklers on," Liberty Hill resident Chelcy Carson said.
"All my neighbors, we help each other out any time it's needed and you saw it in full action yesterday, people cruising down, coming from other areas to collect and move areas, turn on water if it was needed," Carson said. "The river has basically split this fire right in half so we're working two different areas of it right now," Liberty Hill Fire Department Fire Marshal Michael Dickens said."The alpha side is more dense and more compact of cedar and scrub brush and stuff like that so we're having a hard time getting trucks in there, getting crews in there to fight the fire so we're relying on the retardant drops and the water drops," Dickens said.
