The Hidden Pines Fire was a wildfire in Bastrop County, Texas in October 2015.
[1][2] An investigation by the Texas A&M Forest Service Law Enforcement Department said the fire was likely caused by an accident on Luecke ranch near Smithville, which produced a spark that came out from around a cutting unit pulled behind a tractor.
[1][2] The spark ignited dry grass around the tractor, starting the fire.
[1][2] The fire was fully contained after 11 days on October 24, in part because of widespread rain.
[3] The drought continued to remain, and the Bastrop RAWS station reported only .25 inches of rain from September 12 to October 12.
