If a political candidate can go basically unopposed for 20 years and suddenly has multiple hats in the ring... Maybe...just maybe...theres a problem

This is technically incorrect. The city of Vernon is in a burn ban. The county is not. The Fire Department cannot place the county in a burn ban as that is the prerogative of the Judge and county commissioners

Yesterday 8/4/26 was an eventful day for local firefighters as well as neighboring departments, law enforcement, EC, and others. We had a house fire at approximately 2:40 am. A 2 story house was fully involved on department arrival. The house was a total loss, but no injuries were reported the cause is still under investigation. Later in the afternoon a grass fire was reported that ended up threatening the south east corner of town. There 3 structures seriously damaged and 6 people reported injuries secondary to heat and smoke exposure. During these emergency situations we ask that the public stay clear, not just for their safety, but ours as well. We had a lot of resources moving a lot of different ways and a rapidly evolving hazardous situation. Please have some situational awareness. We understand everyone wants to know what's going on but we will get the information out ASAP

Hey guys! The fireworks show for Vernon and Wilbarger county is tonight at the Santa Rosa Rodeo arena on highway 183 south! There's plenty of parking in the arena parking lot! Please do not park along the highway or at the Cotton Boll. The Cotton Boll is going to be the staging are for emergency vehicles. Afterwards remember the Cotton Boll is private property and the owner does not want private fireworks set off there. Have a fun and safe weekend!
