| Me and a buddy was fishing the north end on Ray Hubbard (creek channel) on Sunday the 17, saw a couple of Jeeps roaming around while crappie fishing, noticed one got stuck and was waiting for his friend to pull him out. Well his friend got him out and it wasn't 15 minutes later noticed that it looked like he was stuck again. I looked back a few minutes later and noticed that the Jeep had 2-3 foot flames comming out from underneath the car and the guys were just standing there a few feet away from it, finally I hollered out that they need to move away from the Jeep. At that point I saw one man and three kids moving towards the waters line, remember WERE A LONG WAY UP THE CREEK CHANNEL, by this thime the Jeep is fully engulfed in flames and black smoke filling the skys, flames at this point 3-5 foot. About approx. five minutes later I notice another kid and then another adult comming out between the fire and some brush, then I relized that the second Jeep is now on fire and cooking like a BBQ dinner. Me and my buddy have now stopped fishing and sitting there shaking our heading and asking ourselves what the hell is wrong with this picture. We're totally stunned, yep I've seen stuff like this in the movies but there we were sitting watching it close up and personal (HDTV). I told my bud were going to have to get these people out of here because there was no way they were going to walk out with the fire and 3-4 foot brush, and delta marsh land conditions especially with four kids. I looked it up on google earth and it appeared they were 3,4 and maybe even 5 miles to walk out of there, Cr945 @ 205 was going to be there best bet if they did. The other gentlemen in the other boat had already headed towards the people to take them to shore, they had a boat load already besides taking these six folks on board so we got beside them and trolled to the middle of the creek and unloaded a father and son into my boat and headed for the 66 boat ramp. Once we got to the boat ramp the one guy in our boat stated that they had driven from Burleson and said they would call there wifes to come pick them up. So these guys drove an hour plus to burn down two jeep and the country side. Can you imagine the butt chewing those guys are still receiving? It was one fishing trip I won't soon forget. |
