Yesterday, Irving Fire Department crews responded to a large wildland fire in the Trinity River bottoms that burned approximately one mile through thick, dense brush and trees.

Crews worked for approximately five hours to contain and control the fire in 105+ degree weather. Firefighters remained on scene well beyond containment to extinguish hot spots, burning trees and small spot fires, ensuring the area was safe and the fire was fully controlled.

We’re grateful for the support of our mutual aid partners, Dallas Fire-Rescue and DFW Airport Department of Public Safety. We also appreciate the assistance of Herzog personnel, DART and the City of Irving Parks Department. Due to the location of the fire, railroad tracks had to be shut down to allow fire equipment to be positioned for firefighting operations.

A big thank-you to every firefighter and partner who worked in extreme heat and challenging conditions to protect our community. Responding units: E1, B1, E7, E51, E4, E3, M12, 521, 522, E8, B2, T3, E11, T8, M3, E5, T2, M1, M4, T12, E6, E10, T7

Thank you, Goodgame Photography for the great photos!
