December 10, 2020 - The West Shelby County Volunteer Fire Department (WSCVFD) was dispatched to a structure fire three miles from State Highway 7 West on FM 2913 just before it transitions to CR 1520 Wednesday, December 9, 2020.
When the firemen arrived just after 3pm, additional support from Martinsville Volunteer Fire Department also arrived on the scene. The structure apparently had been burning long before the fire department was alerted and was completely burned down, aside from some fuel tanks located in and around the structure which apparently no longer contained fuel.
The fire burned through portions of a neighboring field just over 142 acres in size and into woods surrounding the property.
The Texas Forest Service was called in to the location to dig a line around the fire and help prevent further spread.
A cause for the fire was not yet determined at the time of the fire.
