It took STARFlight helicopters and 18 firetrucks to put out a fire in Caldwell County Tuesday afternoon.

The fired burned 50 acres near FM 1854 just off Highway 21 near Mustang Ridge.

Shifting winds played a huge part in the fire.

"We've had the winds shift on us three times today, as soon as we get one flank of the fire knocked down, the wind would shift. So, we were out playing around with the wind … as soon as the wind calmed down we knocked it out," Lucas Reynolds of the Chisholm Trail Fire Rescue said.

The fire came close to a couple of homes, fire crews said.
