BRENHAM FIRE DEPARTMENT REPORT

  

On Sunday around 12:15am, the Brenham Fire Department responded to 306 US Highway 290 W, Four Corners Exxon, for a fuel spill.  Upon arrival the store employee had already washed the spilled fuel down with a water hose.

BFD used chemicals to clean up the spilled fuel and left the scene with store employee.

On Sunday around 1:00pm, the BFD along with Salem FD responded to 2500 Old Chappell Hill Rd. for a grass fire.  Upon arrival BFD found a small grass fire that apparently started from a trash pile that was burning.  BFD extinguished the small fire while Salem FD supplied water.

The cause of the fire appeared to be accidental.

Also on Sunday around 9:30pm, BFD responded to 1555 State Highway 36 N. for a powerline arcing.  Upon arrival and after investigation, BFD did not find a powerline arcing, but instead found a dead snake on the ground near the pole that appeared to have been electrocuted.

The arcing that a motorist saw possibly came from the snake that was electrocuted on the pole.  There was no fire.
