The Hidden Pines Fire was a fire in Bastrop County, Texas in October 2015. It spread over 4500 acres. 64 "home-like" structures had been destroyed. The cause of the fire was unknown, but it is possible the fire was started when a ranch shredder sparked and set a fire that ignited dry weeds which quickly spread.[1][2][3]
