Thank you city of kemp employee!

Thank you Justin and Aiden with Kemp Public Works. While working today in the ice, they noticed smoke coming from a barn off Elm Street. Both stopped and attempted to put it out but had to notify Kemp Fire Department because it had gotten too large. Due to their quick actions a much more dangerous situation was averted.

The SH 274 bridge at Kings Creek is a solid sheet of ice. We’ve had two accidents on it within the last few minutes. Please use caution if you are out. Early today the roads were in good shape but they are rapidly becoming hazardous. If you do not have to get out, please don’t.

A burn ban is now in effect for Kaufman County for a period of 90 days. If you have questions regarding the burn ban, please visit the Kaufman County Fire Marshal's Office page or contact them at 469-376-4122.
