FIRE UPDATE – County Road 342

Milano VFD personnel returned to yesterday’s wildland fire this morning at 9:30 a.m. and remained on scene until around 4:00 p.m.

Crews spent the day conducting mop up operations, locating and extinguishing remaining hot spots, and working to gain access to the trouble tree that had continued to burn in an area that was difficult to reach during the initial response.

With assistance from the Texas A&M Forest Service personnel were able to access the affected area, address the trouble tree, and mitigate remaining hot spots.

Wildland fires can continue to hold heat underground, in root systems, and inside damaged trees well after visible flames are extinguished. Today’s work was focused on reducing the chance of rekindle and leaving the area as safe as possible.

Milano VFD appreciates the continued assistance of our state and county partners.

At 2:50 p.m. today our department responded to a large wildland fire in the 7000 block of County Road 342 with five trucks and 12 personnel.

The fire started in a camper and spread to the surrounding area. The residents were not home and the fire was not reported until well into the event. Our firefighters quickly stopped all forward progression of the fire upon arrival. We requested assistance from the Texas A&M Forest Service for a tree burning across a creek that we could not be accessed due to thick brush, briars, and steep embankments.

Thank you to our firefighters for their hard work this afternoon.
