Fire tore through a property at La Homa and West Mile 4 in rural Mission this past Mother’s Day Sunday, leaving a family without a home - and costing a man his business.
Back in April - another fire destroyed a nearby home.
The fires were used by Hidalgo County officials as a backdrop to discuss two issues they say can be dangerous – illegal dumping and illegal burning.
Officials said they deal with illegal burning in rural areas on a daily basis - and they need people to stop.
