We strive to keep the public up-to-date on what’s going on in our community. See below for the latest news from Sheldon Community Fire & Rescue.
MVA with FIRE: Earlier this morning, Beltway @ Wallisville, northbound, traveling on feeder, ending on beltway mainlanes — single occupant, out of vehicle and mobile, evaluated by South Lake Houston EMS, probable cause Failure to Control Speed.
The Caddo Fire continues to burn in northeast Houston near Greens Bayou and John Ralston Road.
SCF&R was called out as a mutual aid response late Saturday, Feb. 21. The Houston Fire Department Wildland Fire Division has been managing the incident since Sunday, Feb. 22, in unified command with Harris County Flood Control District. Both agencies will remain on scene for several days until total containment is achieved.
The fire is estimated at 175 acres with 30% containment. While forward progression has been stopped to the south, residents in the Verde Forest neighborhood and those living east of Thorn Street and north of Caddo Road should remain vigilant and be prepared to evacuate if conditions change.
Winds are currently from the north but are expected to shift and come from the south in the coming days. Smoke will be present as fire containment measures are implemented.
The public is urged to avoid the area. Residents with UTVs and off-road vehicles should stay clear, as unauthorized access interferes with firefighting operations.
