Spoilers for '911: Lone Star' Season 2 Episode 2 '2100°'

Both '911' and '911: Lone Star' have displayed their fair share of disasters, but this week, 'Lone Star' has just taken things to a whole new level with a city-wide threat that no one even knew was a possibility before. A dormant volcano in Austin erupts, and the 126 team is forced to deal with magma, boiling swimming pools, escaping scorpions and great big balls of fire in an episode that has left fans in shock as well as awe.

"Bro, it's LAVA. I was really good at the lava game as a kid, but I would lose this," wrote a fan. "This ep is taking the floor is lava to a whole new level," wrote another. "Whew this episode of #911LoneStar is heavy! This is truly a thrill ride! I’m excited for the season!" wrote this viewer. "That’s a hell of a fire to try and put out! I mean...how exactly?" asked this user, as the 126 scrambled to deal with the emergency. "There's a weather forecast for you - volcano with a chance of lava bombs and curtains of fire," wrote a fan.



 



 



 



 



 

What took many fans by surprise is the fact that this episode taught them that there's an actual dormant volcano in Austin in real life - Pilot Knob, located just south of the city. This knowledge has given fans a whole new thing to be worried about. "I swear this episode better not be predicting nothing. We already in the middle of a panromantic," wrote a user. "What’s crazy is that it’s an actual volcano in Austin but it’s extinct. Wild," wrote a fan. "Tonight's episode of @911LoneStar has me sitting here Googling dormant volcanoes in the US just in case," wrote this viewer. "So... now I have a fear of volcanoes that I didn't have before. Thanks for that #911LoneStar," wrote another. "I actually live in Austin, let me get my emergency bag and stuff ready just in case life imitates art," wrote this fan.
