Grassfire destroys barn, threatens China Spring home
A large grassfire destroyed a barn and threatened a house and adjacent propane tank this afternoon at China Spring Highway and Old Ranch Road before firefighters were able to douse the flames.
Firefighters responded to the blaze just before 2 p.m., and officials at the scene said flames were spreading about 20 feet every 10 seconds at the height of the fire. But by 2:30 p.m., the fire was contained and mostly extinguished.
Waco firefighters and China Spring volunteer firefighters responded, and the McLennan County Sheriff’s Department was on the scene to direct traffic. The road was briefly closed as black, billowy smoke drifted over the area.
