Family faces loss of home, wildfire mostly contained

By late Monday, more was known of the extent of the damage caused by what is now called the Oak Grove Fire, which started sometime on Friday in an area of Hays County that includes Oak Grove/Fox and Thurman Road.

The wildfire, estimated to have burned approximately 400 acres, was officially 75 percent contained as of 5:54 p.m. Monday and had caused no loss of life. It did destroy the home of a father and son who had previously owned the burned residence but were leasing it from the new owner in anticipation of a move to a new home at the end of the month.
