National Night Out is a special evening dedicated to bringing neighbors, law enforcement, and emergency personnel together to strengthen relationships, promote crime prevention awareness, and build a safer, more connected community.

Come hungry, bring the family, and let us take care of the rest! We’d love the opportunity to meet you. Our emergency apparatus and patrol vehicles will be on display for everyone to explore, climb inside, and see up close. We’ll also have a bounce house for the kids to enjoy!

At approximately 5:20 PM Ables Springs Volunteer Fire Department responded to a structure fire at 32150 FM 429.

Firefighters arrived to heavy fire through the roof of a large 2 story home. Immediate mutual aid was requested. Volunteer firefighters from College Mound VFD, Terrell VFD, Elmo VFD and South Tawakoni VFD all responded. A Careflite ambulance was also dispatched as a dedicated standby ambulance for civilian and firefighter safety.

Firefighters mounted an aggressive interior attack but due to heavy fire and compromised structural integrity they were forced out. They transitioned to an exterior attack. The home suffered extensive damage.

Triple digit heat was a factor on the fireground. Multiple firefighters were evaluated by Careflite medics and moved into a rehab area to cool down before going back to work.

The Kaufman County Fire Marshall's office responded and they are working to learn the cause of the blaze. Residents say the home was struck by lightning over the weekend and they've been experiencing electrical issues. Investigators will work to determine if this was a factor. The American Red Cross responded and are assisting the displaced residents. They were no reported injuries.

Monday afternoon College Mound firefighters were called to assist the City of Terrell Fire Department with a house fire. The fire proved tough to extinguish and afternoon heat led to medical emergencies on the fireground.

At 4:32 pm Terrell 911 received a call of a house on fire at 708 N Frances St. The City of Terrell Fire Department as well as the Terrell Volunteer Fire Department were dispatched. First arriving crews found heavy fire and smoke showing from the rear of a 1 story home. Additional resources were requested from Forney Fire Department.

Fire had traveled into the attic of the home and was rapidly spreading. Firefighters mounted an aggressive interior attack but were push out by heavy fire conditions. Firefighters continued to battle the blaze from the exterior of the home.

One firefighter outside the structure fell ill due to high temperature. Careflite medics transported the firefighter to a local hospital for care. He's reported to be recovering. A short while later a second firefighter suffered heat related issues. He was treated on scene and went back to work.

The fire proved to be very difficult to battle especially with the hot conditions. Additional assistance was requested from College Mound, Elmo and Kaufman fire departments. Three hours later firefighters were still on scene overhauling and knocking out hot spots.

Firefighters were notified of the fire by a group of teens. After calling 911 they forced entry into the home and assisted an elderly woman and her dog to safety. Neither were injured.

The woman shares the home with her adult son but was alone when the fire broke out. The Red Cross is providing assistance to the displaced residents. Investigators are working to determine the cause of the fire.

Multiple fire departments battle an early morning fire in rural Kaufman County.

At 5:03 AM College Mound firefighters were dispatched to a structure fire in the 6800 block of FM 429. Immediate mutual aid from Kaufman was dispatched as well.

Firefighters arrived to find heavy fire showing from a mobile home. Fortunately the occupants had safely escaped.

Due to the volume of fire and difficult access additional resources were requested. Firefighters from Terrell and Elmo Volunteer Fire Departments responded. Careflite responded an ambulance for standby as well.

Firefighters remained on scene for several hours doing overhaul to ensure the fire was completely out.

The Kaufman County Fire Marshall's office responded and are working to learn the cause of the fire. There were no reported injuries.
