GRASS FIRE, GAS ODOR CALLS TUESDAY FOR BRENHAM FIRE DEPT.

  

The Brenham Fire Department responded to two calls on Tuesday.

Around 2:30 p.m., units were dispatched to the 1800 block of Woodward Springs Road for a report of a grass fire.  They arrived on location to find about a quarter of an acre on fire.  Personnel used tank water from a booster truck to extinguish the blaze before returning to service.

Shortly after 8:45 p.m., firefighters received a report of a gas smell inside a home in the 800 block of West Jefferson Street.  They arrived to find that a gas oven was accidentally left on, so they turned the knob off and ventilated the home.  The City of Brenham Gas Department arrived at the location to double-check everything, and the fire department cleared the scene.
