CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — We have an update on the Borrega fire that has been burning through Kleberg County. As of Saturday night, the fire is reported 98% contained by the Texas A&M Forest Service.
Reports say that the Borrega fire has burned roughly 51,566 acres. According to Texas A&M Forest Service, smoke remains but does not pose a threat to containment lines.
At one point, conditions were in place for the fire to move towards Falfurrias. Fortunately, at this time no damaged homes have been reported, and there is no threat to residents.
Voluntary evacuation orders have been lifted in Kleberg County for the Ricardo and Riviera communities, as well as the King Ranch Gas Plant.
