Default Is Round Rock on Fire?

That is a huge black column of smoke north of me. Anyone know what is going on?

I saw it too heading home on 183. It doesn't look too good.

I'm not sure, but the fire trucks in my neighborhood were heading out as I was coming home from picking up my daughter. I'm not in RR but a lot of times if a fire is big enough in RR, Hutto or Taylor then all nearby stations respond so they have enough help to put out the fire.

There's this but it doesn't seem to line up with the smoke I saw.

That might be it, b/c i live on grand ave parkway and close to dessau, and it looks like it is right outside my door.

Just a wild guess, but as I turned north on Parmer from Lakeline(3:15 or so), it appeared to be emanating from the Pearson Ranch area. Hard to pinpoint.

Oh fun, and my asthmatic daughter wants to go to the pool today! Guess we'll bring the inaler to be on the safe side. I hope no houses are in danger!

The article said it's clearly visible from Central Austin, so it must be pretty big.
