There is a pile of wood (70 feet tall by 400 ft long and about 200 ft wide) and wood chips and stuff like that that "somehow" caught on fire in Central Texas near a small town of Helotes. It has been burning for over one month now. The local Environmental agency contracted a company to put it off and so far it have cost over 3 million dollars to stop the fire. Also some of the water they dumped on the fire now showed up in the nearby water wells and aquifer so they have to hire another company to build a compacted clay liner on the pit were all the water run off goes. The price tag keeps going up and the fire is still smoldering and driving people nearby insane. Keep and eye on those piles of wood! |
