BRENHAM FD RESPONDS THURSDAY FOR TWO ACCIDENTS, RESCUE CALL

  

The Brenham Fire Department responded to five calls on Thursday.

Approaching 9 a.m., units were dispatched to West Chauncy Street and Key Street for a report of a gas smell outside.  Firefighters and the City of Brenham Gas Department found a slight smell coming from the roadway.  The gas department remained on location, and the fire department returned to service.

A few minutes shy of 1:45 p.m., BFD personnel went out to a transportation incident at South Blue Bell Road and Old Chappell Hill Road.  They discovered a three-vehicle accident and proceeded to help EMS and clean the roadway off.  They cleared the scene once the vehicles were removed from the roadway.

Just past 6:30 p.m., members of the Brenham Fire Department and Chappell Hill Volunteer Fire Department were called out to the 4200 block of Nicholson Lake Road for a report of two children accidentally locked inside a camper.  They found two small children locked inside the camper.  Units were able to open a window of the camper to gain access, and a firefighter crawled through and unlocked the door.

At 7:15 p.m., firefighters responded to a fire alarm at Kruse Village, 1700 East Stone Street.  Nothing was showing from the exterior of the building.  The department found that a resident had accidentally pulled the fire alarm, so the alarm was reset. 

Around 8:30 p.m., a transportation incident was called in from the 3400 block of Old Chappell Hill Road.  The department found a single-vehicle accident with fluids on the roadway.  Firefighters cleaned the roadway off and returned to the station after the vehicle was removed from the roadway.
