Awesome job by Sherman Fire!!!

🚨 STRUCTURE FIRE 🚨

This afternoon your Professional Firefighters of Sherman were dispatched to a two story house fire with multiple victims trapped. First arriving units arrived to reports of two victims in an upstairs bedroom with heavy fire on first floor. Truck 81 was able to rescue both victims from the window and they were transported to the hospital where they are currently critical but stable. Engine 84 was able to rapidly knock down the fire, greatly assisting in rescue efforts.

The success of this operation was only possible because of the hard work and dedication of our members and the support we continually receive from our city staff and our great citizens.

🚨 PLEASE NOTE: This is a PLANNED DRILL, not a real emergency.
What to expect:
📍 Location: Bonham High School

Bonham Fire Department Responds to Grass Fire on County Road 4215 - Bonham, Texas
Bonham Fire Department is currently on scene of a large grass fire off County Road 4215.
The fire has burned approximately 40 acres, destroyed 150 hay bales, and resulted in the loss of one residential structure. The fire perimeter is 100% contained, and there is no threat to the public.
Residents in and around Bonham may notice a haze and the odor of smoke over the next several days as crews continue working to extinguish hot spots and as remaining hay bales continue to burn. This is expected and does not pose a danger to the community.
Citizens are asked to avoid the area of County Road 4215 to allow emergency personnel to safely complete suppression operations.
The Bonham Fire Department would like to thank our mutual aid partners for their assistance:
• Dodd City Volunteer Fire Department
• Randolph Volunteer Fire Department
• Trenton Volunteer Fire Department
• Whitewright Volunteer Fire Department
• Faught Volunteer Fire Department
• Fannin County Office of Emergency Management
• Fannin County Sheriff’s Office

On January 19, 2003, we lost Bonham Firefighter James Edward Taylor, who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. His courage, dedication, and selflessness will never be forgotten.
We stand with his family, friends, and fellow firefighters as we honor his legacy of service and sacrifice. Rest in peace, Firefighter Taylor.
