TYE, Texas (KTAB/KRBC) – A trailer home in Tye caught fire Wednesday, prompting a multi-department response.

Crews responded to the house on Concho Street at about 5:30 p.m.; the flames had been contained by 6:00 p.m. According to the Tye Fire Department, the fire was likely caused by a mobile phone left on the charger unattended, though this is still under investigation.
