Thanks to a hot day and very low humidity, the Ramsey fire rekindled Saturday afternoon near CR 352 and FM 1467. Just as they had done a few, short days ago, numerous area volunteer fire departments immediately responded, as did air support from the Texas A &M Forest Service. As of 8:15 pm, the Forest Service listed the fire 50% contained and 3,100 acres.
