Just before 1:30 p.m. Tuesday (August 25), a large fire broke out near the South Plains Electric Coop offices and Mackenzie Park on Municipal Drive in North Lubbock.

Large plumes of black smoke were visible for miles around the fire until about 1:50 p.m.  Then, firefighters got the fire under control and the amount of smoke visible decreased.

So far, no reports of any injuries and no reports on what started the fire.

Municipal Drive, east of I-27, is currently closed as firefighters are on the scene.
