Over the past few days, CVFD crews have responded to several incidents.

Friday started with a grass fire on Hwy 71 at Brushy Road, where FreeBo Ranch employees responded with their tanker to assist crews with extinguishing the fire. Shortly after returning from that call, crews were dispatched for extrication to a multiple-vehicle crash on I-10 westbound between MM 695–696. Later that evening, crews were back on I-10 for an 18-wheeler fire at MM 689.

Saturday morning, CVFD responded to a fatal motor vehicle accident requiring extrication on the frontage road at FM 102. Later, crews were dispatched to reports of a grass fire along I-10 near FM 2434, but no fire was located.

This morning, crews responded to another motor vehicle accident on I-10 westbound near MM 700, where CVFD was requested for extrication.

These are just a few of the calls our volunteers respond to throughout the year, many of which never make it to our page. We’re thankful for our firefighters and all of the law enforcement officers, EMS personnel, dispatchers, towing services, and neighboring agencies who work alongside us!
