February 3, 2026 - Center Fire Department (CFD) was dispatched during icy weather to three fires on Sunday, January 25, 2026, all within the same hour.
When firefighters with the CFD arrived at around 7:50pm at 1314 Shelbyville Street into Pecan Grove trailer park, they discovered a mobile home on fire which was surrounded by several other mobile home.
The firefighters were able to contain and extinguish the fire, preventing it from spreading to other neighboring homes.
Shelbyville Volunteer Fire Department firefighters assisted at the scene.
Within the same time frame, two other house fires were reported, including one that was on State Highway 87 North which was electrical in origin and was quickly able to be contained by fire personnel.
While CFD was occupied with the other calls, Tenaha and Timpson Volunteer Fire Departments both responded to a house fire in the 800 block of CR 1044, and they were supported by Shelbyville Volunteer Fire Department. That fire had become fully involved and resulted in a total loss.
