The fire was caused by a car accident and the car caught on fire. The fire quickly spread east with a good breeze. It crested the ridge just before the Honey Springs Ranch Barn. The fire department along with great and rapid air support suppressed the fire quickly. The Border Patrol and Sheriff were also very involved. Hopefully no one was injured in the accident or fire. ... They are mopping up still but we are extremely thankful for our wonderful fire department. Also, thanks for reporting these important alerts.
