fire

This was the scene moments ago (Approximately 4:30 PM on Thursday, March 9th 2017) on Atkinson Drive in Lufkin. If you live in this area, judging by the number of power company trucks, you might have lost power for a short time.

Tuesday night around 9:45, I was driving southbound on Highway 59 between Nacogdoches and Lufkin.  When I got close to the FM 2021 intersection, I saw a vehicle totally engulfed in flames.

We always hear warnings about the fire risk with Christmas trees, but have you ever seen how quickly one can spread if the tree gets dry?  This is pretty shocking.

Put on your favorite ugly Christmas sweater and cozy up to this yule log!

It's dry across Texas and conditions are expected to get even more favorable through the weekend for the breakout of wildfires.

On Tuesday, October 13th, a fire was reported just north of Smithville, Texas in Bastrop County.  So far, that fire, named the Hidden Pines Fire, has engulfed nearly 400 acres.

After stepping down as coach of the Longhorns, Mack Brown moved most of his Texas memorabilia to his home in North Carolina, not far from Charlotte.

Yesterday afternoon, local news sources began reporting a serious fire in Houston's Montrose neighborhood.  The fire involved an apartment complex that was under construction, and was another opportunity for the Houston Fire Department to amaze onlookers.

A Lufkin landmark, Fullers Buffet, caught fire and burned today (Feb. 18th).  Fullers Buffet had been a Lufkin institution for many years, serving homestyle food to East Texans.  The fire began sometime after 2pm when the restaurant had closed for the day.

Would you rush into a burning building to save someone? Two Jacksonville police officers were honored recently for doing exactly that June 15th. The structure was fulling engulfed when police and fire officials arrived, but the officers rushed in once they learned there were still people inside.  And they got them out!

The heat is on a Jacksonville, Florida daycare that fired a teacher for saving her kids from a fire.

Television doesn't do it justice.  I have been told that by friends who are firefighters.  The only way to understand is to be there.  Well, here we go...
