The backstory:

According to Lake Travis Fire Rescue, on Friday, Jan. 31, around 2:30 p.m., firefighters responded to a fire in a mobile home in the 800 block of Brooks Hollow Road.

Fire officials say the home went up in flames with propane tanks on the property.

"First, crews arrived on scene at a large fire and the exterior of a building. The building is surrounded by about a six-foot concrete wall," says Prather.

Two people were at home when the fire started, but both exited safely.

There were no injuries.

"We don't really know what started it. The caller was on scene and said that when he called 911 and said that exterior of the structure was on fire and that is what was reported to us," says Lake Travis Assistant Fire Chief Mike Prather.

The residents inside were able to exit safely, but firefighters say they did face challenges accessing the property due to a large concrete wall. 

The flames also spread to the neighbor’s yard.

"There are some embers that did start. Light vegetation, fuel, grass around. We were able to extinguish that at all as well," says Prather.

Crews were at the home for several hours working to clean the scene. The fire chief says a propane tank was damaged in the flames.

"We've had some power lines down and a propane tank that gassed off," says Prather.

Neighbors reported hearing popping sounds and seeing flares. Fire officials say the blaze caused power outages at several homes on the street.

"Didn't have to evacuate any residents and all structures that were threatened. We were able to get lines on and protect them," says Prather.
