Grass Fire Consumes 30 Acres, Burn Ban Still in Effect
Temperatures are hot and the dry conditions are fueling fires in our area. Groesbeck Fire Rescue (GFR) was dispatched along with Thornton VFD to a grass fire on LCR 632 around 7 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 13. A total of 21 fire apparatus and a D6 dozer from the Texas Forestry Service battled the fire that consumed 30 acres. The terrain ranged from three to four feet of grassy areas and thick mesquite trees- making it challenging to access the fire.
