The Chappell Hill Volunteer Fire Department responded to four calls over the weekend.

Chappell Hill VFD members arrived on the scene, and performed traffic control, as well as, fluid mitigation.

The next call came in Saturday night at 6pm where VFD units were dispatched to a reported crash without entrapment in the area of the Phillips Veterinary Hospital and Highway 290 East. When they arrived, firefighters found two vehicles in the center median against the cable barrier with moderate damage.

On Sunday afternoon at 1:30pm, the Chappell Hill VFD was requested as mutual aid for a grass fire in the 16,000 block of Sweed Road for a brush truck, ATV, and a tanker. Firefighters assisted with extinguishing the fire and hand-crew operations to ensure that the flames were out. They cleared the scene approximately three hours later.
