GREGG COUNTY — The Longview Fire Department and the Judson Metro Volunteer Department plan to let an oil lease blaze burn itself out. Those two departments responded after the fire was reported Thursday morning off Highway 259 north of Longview. Authorities say there’s no worry of the flames spreading because of the heavy rain that soaked the area Thursday morning. Officials said the fire may have been caused by a lightning strike.
