Many people were forced to evacuate their homes as crews work to contain a 400 acre wildfire that started in Bastrop County Sunday afternoon.
According to the Texas A&M Forest Service, the wildfire- named the Hudson Fire- began just after noon, eight miles east of Bastrop City Limits North of SH 71. As of 6:30 am this morning, the fire has spread across 400 acres and is 20% contained.
