We have friends in Blanco. Can you tell me what the situation there is like? Haven't been able to contact our friends. They're the breeders we bought our Newfoundland Dogs from. They have like NINE of the giants living in the small home with them just as pets not as potential sales! LOL. But I worry about them and the pups now.

I can’t tell you about Blanco. You may want to look at the Texas Forest Service maps.

However, the evacuations have been very proactive and there are many organizations that are offering safe shelter for horses, livestock and pets.

Thus far, there has been no loss of human life in Central Texas.

My folks (pamlet on here) live south of Blanco, and I was just over that way yesterday. There were no fires in that area, though it is just as dry as the rest of the state. There were a few fires about 30 miles to the north of Blanco, but Bastrop is on the other side of Austin, so that fire shouldn't affect your friends. The only other fires nearby was one down at the northern edge of San Antonio (20-30 miles away) and then there was one east of Wimberley (15 miles to the east of Blanco), but it was minor in comparison to the larger fires.
