Crews in a small Texas community are working to put out a fire that engulfed the city Thursday afternoon.
Heavy flames filled the city of Ranger's downtown area and engulfed historic structures including the police department building and a 100-year-old church.
Video taken by the Eastland County Today newspaper showed crews working to put out the fire at the historic Second Baptist Church and the police station. Ranger is in Eastland County, about 85 miles west of Fort Worth, off of Interstate 20 and Loop 254. According to the city's website, Ranger has a population of 2,468 as of the 2010 census.
"A lot of sentimental value here. Lived in Ranger my whole life," fire chief Darrell Fox said.
Fox told WFAA the fire may have been started from a barbecue pit and was fueled by high winds in the area.
