"It's hard because you wake up early in the morning, come and work and right now, you see there's nothing there," Cedilla says. "It's hard."

Luis says he is sad because everything he owned was inside the trailer home that was destroyed. His family has set up a GoFundMe page to help him recover.

A neighboring car lot also lost several vehicles in the fire.

Firefighters had to bring in tanker trucks full of water after water pressure issues delayed their ability to fight the fire. Large pools of water were also created to help rescue workers battle against the flames.

Firefighters say the low pressure may affect the flow of water inside homes and businesses in the area.

The fire was so large, people could see flames from the Eastex Freeway.

Firefighters from nine area departments were called to help contain the fire.

The cause of the fire is still unknown.
