BOLIVAR PENINSULA, Texas (KTRK) -- A massive fire on the Bolivar peninsula sent flames shooting into the sky late Saturday night, according to authorities.

The fire grew so big that firefighters had even more problems putting it out after they ran out of water.

Fire officials said they got reinforcements from Santa Fe Fire with at least two more water tankers.
