CVFD RESPONDS TO COMMERCIAL MULCH FIRE
Around 3 PM yesterday, CVFD received a call for a large mulch fire at "The Ground Up" on FM1093 just east of Grand Mission Boulevard. The fire impacted multiple large mulch piles and on-site equipment. The fire also began to spread to to the grass behind the property. With the help of many agencies, we were able to surround and contain the fire and prevent it from spreading any further.
Fires on this stretch of FM1093 pose unique challenges because of the lack of fire hydrants in the area. Our firefighters laid over 1500 feet of supply line to connect to the nearest hydrant. We are also very thankful for mutual aid water tanker assistance from surrounding agencies.
A special thanks to our mutual aid companies:
Northeast Fort Bend County Fire Department
Harris County ESD 48 Fire Department
Fulshear Simonton Fire
Willowfork Fire Department
Fort Bend County Fire Marshal's Office
Richmond Fire Department
Houston Fire Department
Yesterday, Battalion 603 (BC Lane) and Medic 611 (FTO McKenzie and Paramedics Herzog & Watson), along with our partners at Willowfork Fire Department Station 1 were proud to host Cub Scout Pack 343. This group of Webelos have been working on their first aid badge and what to do in the event of a medical emergency.
We would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas. This year in partnership with Willowfork Fire Department, Westlake Volunteer Fire Department, and The Scharff Group- Keller Williams Premier Realty Katy, the Chief Santa's Toy Drive was created for its first annual drive. Thousands of toys and stuffed animals were collected. With the support we received from the Oak Park Retirement Resort and the community, we were able to spread toys across Hope Impacts, Katy Christian Ministries/KCM, Friends of Sundown, Texas Children's Hospital - West Campus, Veterans Administration & HEB Military Families, and many Katy Area Families directly.
It’s starting to look like Christmas! Willowfork Fire Department, Westlake Volunteer Fire Department, Harris County ESD 48 Fire Department, The Scharff Group- Keller Williams Premier Realty Katy partnered together to bring the Katy Area the first annual Chief Santa's Toy Drive! So if 82 degrees and 89% humidity puts you in the giving spirit, we will be collecting and sorting toys until 5pm today. We are located at 21201 Morton Rd.
Share the magic of Christmas as we bring holiday cheer to our neighbors in need! 🎄 Together with The Scharff Group- Keller Williams Premier Realty Katy we created Chief Santa's Toy Drive which joined forces with Willowfork Fire Department and Westlake Volunteer Fire Department to collect toys for the less fortunate in our Katy community.
