Fire crews have been on scene for nearly three hours battling a grass and hay bale fire south of Bridgeport off FM 2123.
Our Precinct 4 crew is on scene assisting alongside our volunteer firefighters and other responding agencies. Thanks to their quick work, the fire is now under control, and crews are continuing to extinguish hay bales.
Please use extra caution if you’re working outdoors. Vegetation is drying out quickly, and this is the second major grass fire in as many days. It doesn’t take much for a small spark to turn into a large wildfire.
A big thank you to all of our firefighters, first responders, and county road crews for their hard work today. Stay safe out there.
