In a joint effort to battle a significant grass and brush fire, Emergency Services District 1 (ESD 1) dispatched a full brush alarm assignment to the vicinity of the 400 block of Trinity View Rd. According to the Parker County Emergency Services District 1, the involved units included Brush 34, 35, 37, Engines 34, 35, 37, and Battalion 102 responding in mutual aid to ESD 6/Spring Creek. The mobilization of resources occurred yesterday afternoon in engagement with the blaze which was restricted to an area of approximately 40 acres.
Alongside the primary units, multiple departments including Weatherford, ESDs 7, 9, Cresson, and North Hood Co VFD were present assisting on the ground.
