A large grass fire engulfed a pumpkin patch in Texas on Saturday, destroying 73 vehicles in the monstrous blaze, according to the farm's Facebook page.
The fire broke out at the Robinson Family Farm, a patch in Temple, Texas, that regularly hosts visitors. While the farm portion of the patch was not affected by the fire, the grass parking lot went up in smoke is where the inferno took place.
Fire Marshall Chris Mahlstedt, who spoke to local reporters, firefighters were able to quickly control the blaze and put out the fire a few hours after it began. A discarded cigarette thrown into dry grass is being considered as a possible start to the fire.

Somewhere in Texas multiple insurance agents are drinking straight from the bottle.
That’s what happens when you park cars with extremely hot exhaust systems in foot high dead grass dummies 😂
It could of been that or someone being careless with a cigarette. Either way it’s been very dry in texas for the past month so it wouldn’t take much to set that grass alight and for the wind to spread it quickly.
