Raw Footage of Fire Behind South Plains Electric Coop in Lubbock
I happened to catch video of this fire on the way home today. When I shot this, emergency vehicles had not even arrived. This is off of I-27 just before you get to North Loop 289.
I originally did not not if what I was seeing was a fire. Black smoke over in this neighborhood isn't that strange because they do fire exercises out at the airport. But this is/was a serious blaze, adjacent to a wooded area and some old homes and trailer houses.
Here's what I was able to capture at about 1:20 p.m. today (Tuesday, August 25). (Apologies for the vertical video.)
