Several local volunteer fire departments responded, in addition to the Dickens County Sheriff’s Office and TxDOT. By about 4:15 p.m. Spur VFD chief Wess Abbott reported the fire under control: “We have the fire contained and have released all departments from the scene except Spur VFD and the Texas Forest service. We are continuing to establish fire guards.” Thank you to all responding units!
