Six Spicewood families were displaced after fire consumed two sets of condos on Hill Loop early Monday morning, Nov. 17.

Spicewood Volunteer Fire Department firefighters battled the blaze from 3 a.m. to noon with the help of Marble Falls Area volunteers and Pedernales Volunteer firefighters, but were unable to save the structures.

“They were totally involved when we got here, and it only took us 13 minutes to get here...They all burned to the ground,” said Patsy Lester, director of Spicewood Volunteer EMS. “They were made out of cedar so they went up (in flames) really quick.”

Lester reported that no one was hurt as firefighters battled below freezing temperatures and high winds while trying to quelch the fire.
