Just saw it from my backyard. It is so big I didn’t think it was smoke. With this wind, it could be trouble.Big fire somewhere north of 20 in Aledo/Willow Park area. Kinda near the Brookshire's. Smoke is visible for miles.
Anyone know what's burning? It's not a controlled burn by the way, saw fire services rushing to the scene.

Nah I’m south of 20, just past where 1187 splits off from FM 5. Thankfully.
You were heading east? Did you take Aledo Rd?Tried to leave Aledo via the freeway and had to turn around and take a back way. I’m not sure I’ll even be able to get back home.

No I had to take 1187 back down through town and turn by the middle school to take Aledo/Iona Rd to Markum Ranch Rd and get on 20 from there. But the way the fire is spreading I’m not sure I can take that route back home. And school is about to let out. This is nuts.I'm assuming ranch house road at Brookshire's is shut down?...can't even make it to 1187 then?
Yep.You were heading east? Did you take Aledo Rd?
