WASHINGTON CO. FIREFIGHTERS RESPONDING TO LARGE FIRE ON FM 50

  

Multiple Washington County fire departments are at the scene of a large fire that sparked this (Monday) morning.

Firefighters are working in the 2600 block of FM 50, near Airport Road.  City of Brenham officials say the fire started after a controlled burn quickly moved past the controlled area.

Many of the county’s fire departments have responded to provide manpower or equipment, or to backfill the Brenham Fire Station while the Brenham Fire Department tends to the fire scene.  Law enforcement is also on location. 

Firefighting efforts are expected to take most of the day.  The public is asked to avoid the area.
