September 14, 2016 - The Center Fire Department was dispatched to a house fire located behind the old Pilgrim's Pride Hatchery on Santa Fe Street in Center at 5:16am September 14, 2016.
When the firemen arrived, the house was engulfed in flames. Two vehicles beside the building received heat damage as a result of being so close to the house.
The firemen extinguished the flames to the house, which was a total loss, and returned to the station at 7:25am. A contractor working for Pilgrim's Pride was using the house as an office space and employees were parking the vehicles there while they were working.
Firemen were dispatched back to the scene of the fire at 3:50pm on the same day when it was reported the fire rekindled. The firemen searched for hot spots and extinguished them.
