There was a fire just recently that erupted and went live on the tv news stations because of the event associated with it being one of the larger events in Austin's Music Scene -- the Austin City Limits!!!
Fortunately, the ongoers there this morning weren't packed in and there was no mania. It is unclear what exactly exploded at the scene and caused the fire, but Austin Fire Department's finest put out the fire very quickly. Fortunately, it was on the perimeter of the site.
Okay... now it was announced that it was some propane tanks in an area not visited by concert ongoers and behind the stage set up area of one of the stages.... It could have been much worse, if the area was packed as it would surely be tonight.
Whew!!
They are already letting people back into the area, which is a good sign. I am sure that they are going to be monitoring the embers of the fire burst....
So far, they are saying everything is a "GO!!!" for the concert goers to the Austin City Limits vast music festival!!!!
Thanks to Austin's fine AFD coming to the rescue and putting out the fire as quickly as it flamed up!!! The smoke was ten times worse as the fire it appears.
The joke they are saying is that ACL has started off with a bang this year! I am certainly relieved that it is something that we can all chuckle about.....
