Dry conditions make for numerous fast burning grass fires in many parts of North TX. This is by no means a California type wildfire, but it's location near completed gas wells could have easily developed into a much greater concern.
A tip of the hat to the numerous volunteer firefighters who managed to contain and extinguish a grass fire about 2 miles south of Whitney, TX on Wednesday June 25th. Units from several small communities, including Whitney, Lakeview, Abbott, Aquilla and Peoria worked for several hours in 100+ degree heat to bring the fire under control.
It's seemingly insignificant events like this that rarely make the evening news, but I felt these guys and gals needed to be commended on
