Erath County Assesses Fire Damage --
“We heard there was an evacuation order and so the community kicked in. People start calling their friends, their neighbors. The volunteer fire departments all activate, and everyone starts heading to everyone’s places to help evacuate what they can,” said Houston.
“There were three counties that came together. Palo Pinto County sent resources. Hood County and Erath County all had resources on this fire. That definitely makes the suppression efforts much easier on this fire,” said incident commander Boe Adler.
