A mobile home was destroyed Thursday as a grass fire burned several acres in Love County. Firefighters who responded say they believe the fire was started by an exhaust pipe from a truck. The fire began burning near State Highway 32 and Scenic Highway 77.

Angela Sanchez lives near where the fire burned several acres. She feared her home would be consumed by the flames which were several feet high at their peak.

"It was going to burn my house down, the one i just put out here. That was my image when i got out here because i saw the fire behind it," Sanchez said.

Crews were able to extinguish the fire before it reached other homes.
