Marion County resident Hunter Bonner notified us this morning of a fire along the powerlines near FM 729 and Morris County Road 2307.
According to reports, the fire began in a pickup truck belonging to individuals who had come to check their deer feeders. It was initially contained to the cab of the truck but spread through the dash to outside.
Volunteer fire departments began responding within 10 minutes according to witnesses. Mims, Lone Star and Jenkins departments, along with the Forestry Service all responded.
No one was injured from the fire, but high winds have kept everyone on alert.
His son and daughter provided video updates.
