FIVE WEEKEND CALLS FOR BRENHAM FIRE DEPT.

  

The Brenham Fire Department was called out twice on Saturday and three times on Sunday.

Just after 7:15 a.m. Saturday, the department responded to the 800 block of West Second Street for a fire alarm.  Firefighters received a request from the Blinn Police Department to reset the alarm at the location.  The alarm was reset, and units returned to service.

Shortly before 12:30 p.m. firefighters were dispatched for a grass fire at Highway 290 East and Handley Street.  A small grass fire was found on the side of the feeder road.  The fire was extinguished, and the department cleared the call.

At 10:15 a.m. Sunday, BFD members responded along with the Salem Volunteer Fire Department for a vehicle fire in the 8900 block of Highway 290 East.  Salem firefighters arrived first and cancelled Brenham units.

Just before 1 p.m., the department received a report of illegal burning at a home on North Park Street and Sayles Street.  A small fire was found in the backyard, but it was extinguished by the homeowner due to ordinance violation. 

Just past 6:15 p.m., firefighters went out to the 1400 block of North Park Street for a child locked inside a vehicle.  They arrived and used a lockout kit to unlock the vehicle before clearing the scene.
