Following Police Scanners - Austin Metro (TX) Fires and Cessna Downed in Wildfire (Los Angeles county CA)

The largest of the fires whipping through central Texas is in Bastrop County, shown here on Sunday.

Strong winds have whipped up several more fires in Texas, most notably one just southeast of Austin in Bastrop county. Last I heard, firefighters were trying to save a residential area.
Updates can be found HERE.

In addition, just got word of a Cessna went down in a wildfire in Los Angeles county CA. Reports are somewhat sketchy at the moment, but reports are saying a Cessna 210 plane crashed in Blackburn Canyon killing one and ignited a fast-moving brush fire that has already grown to 750 acres as of this post. This is northeast of Los Angeles. A mandatory evacuation of 30 homes has been ordered.
