Somervell County Judge Danny Chambers told the HCN mid-morning Tuesday (July 19) that the wildfire that began Monday at the base of Chalk Mountain has burned between 4,000 and 5,000 acres in northern Hood County. Among the multiple firefighting agencies battling the massive fire are those from Hood County, and Fire Marshal Jeff Young said that five or six brush trucks and two to three water tankers are being rotated to help with the mutual aid. The fire has been moving north toward Hood County, and is currently about 10 percent contained, Chambers noted.
