The burn ban for Comanche County has been extended until September 21st. Please use caution when doing anything outdoors and continue to follow the rules of the burn ban. On September 12th, Cache Fire, along with Indiahoma Fire Dept , Pecan Creek Fire Department, the US Wildland Fire Service, US Fish and Wildlife Law Enforcement, Cache PD, Comanche County Sheriff's Office, Comanche County Emergency Management, Comanche County Western District, Memorial Health EMS, and others were called out to 2 separate fires. One of these fires began while a lawnmower was being used, which is not something that is prohibited in the burn ban. This goes to show that no matter what you're doing outdoors, remain aware of your surroundings and call 911 at the first site of active flames and fire. The quick actions of residents that called 911 made the difference. These fires were fueled by dry conditions, low humidity, and plenty of fuels from tall grass, trees, and other objects that were in their paths. Luckily there were no injuries reported and no residential structures lost. Thanks to the quick response of several departments, these fires were controlled and prevented from causing more extensive damage. Thank you to all of you that stopped by and checked to see if we needed anything, thank you for your prayers, and a special thank you to those that stopped by and provided food and drinks when we really needed them the most out there. Again, we are proud to be a part of an amazing community.
