Lamesa fi refi ghters Chris Rose and Steven Archer pull down smoldering branches surrounding a vacant house that burned to the ground before daylight Monday morning in the 200 block of S.E. Gary Ave. With the building already on the ground, the branches were pushed into the fi re so they could go ahead and burn to prevent them from catching on fi re later and possibly allowing wind to spread the fl ames to dry grass in the surrounding area. Three vacant houses in that immediate area have now burned in the past few months, which fi refi ghters believe may be the result of vagrants staying in the structures. LPR photo by Russel Skiles
