A Western Travis County fire that broke out yesterday and has consumed about 200 acres is now 95 percent contained, authorities said this afternoon.

Now, crews are working their way in from the perimeter of the fire and “into the black,” or the center of the fire, putting out remaining hot spots, said John Durham, assistant chief for the Lake Travis Fire Department.

Also, additional brush trucks have been brought in this afternoon in case the threat of the fire rises again, Durham said. Triple-digit temperatures, low humidity and winds of 10 to 15 miles per hour this afternoon could threaten progress made so far, he said.

The fire has consumed 200 acres of private property adjacent to the Milton Reimers Ranch Park, which remains closed for safety reasons and to provide emergency responders accessibility to the site, Durham said. There have been no reports of injuries or any damage to any structures, he said.
