WASHINGTON COUNTY FIREFIGHTERS BATTLE A MAJOR BLAZE
Nearly all the fire departments were called out on Christmas Eve to battle a major structure fire in the Gay Hill area.
The Gay Hill Volunteer Fire Department was dispatched at 8pm Saturday night to Wauls Legion Road.
Firefighters found a barn and a workshop completely engulfed in flames.
Departments from Burton, Chappell Hill, Prairie Hill, Berlin, Rocky Creek, Salem, and Brenham eventually all had to be called in to assist in putting out the blaze.
Firefighters were on the scene into the early morning hours on Christmas Day.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.

I can’t begin to express how thankful we were for all of the men and women and fire stations that came out. Many made repeated trips to keep bringing water in. They fought this beast for about 4 hours. The last man left our place after 1am. So much was lost in the old barn but we are all safe and we have our home. And our giant old Oak tree was not burned. I pray that the intense heat does not kill it but they did all they could do.
