Smith County, TX (KETK) — Several East Texas fire departments were able to band together and save more than a dozen houses Tuesday afternoon.

At around 2:00 p.m., a brush fire sparked in the 17000 block of Ravenwood Dr., just off of Highway 155.

A total of 14 homes were threatened by the blaze. Fire officials tell KETK one mobile home in particular was extremely near the brush fire.

Winds are a suspected factor in the fire, but no official cause has been released.
