The two fires in Jeff Davis County are being contained with numerous aircraft and a Type One Incident Management Team.

The Livermore Ranch Fire, the bigger of the two fires at almost 14,000 acres, was up 5 percent from Wednesday to 40 percent containment, according to the Texas Forest Service.

Spokesman Patrick Allen said the firefighters have contained a line before the Davis Mountain Resort they had been holding.

“There’s not really any smoke coming off it or anything,” he said.

Allen said the weather was cooperating Thursday afternoon, but if the winds began to gust it might cause problems and further spreading of the fire.

“There’s still that danger there,” he said. “If something were to happen, we’re to get a gust of wind or something, there’s always that possibility.”

According to the Texas Forest Service, the fire is not making any “rapid runs” toward the 150 home Davis Mountain Resort, which is less than a mile from the fire.

The Spring Mountain Fire, which makes up the other have of the Livermore Complex, is still at 10,576 acres and 60 percent contained.

The Livermore Ranch Fire began April 24 and the Spring Mountain Fire began April 21. Both were caused by lightning.
