Latest News
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.
A severe squall line is racing toward Southeast Texas, so a Severe Thunderstorm Watch is now in effect for the highlighted counties until May 11 5:00AM. This means conditions are favorable for severe thunderstorms to form, so stay weather aware. In this case, damaging winds are the primary threat with large hail secondary. A brief tornado cannot be ruled out.

ON LOCATION: Royalwood Subdivision @ Fernbank, small outside fire, quickly extinguished by Sta. No. 1 crew. Not a pretty or fragrant site, confident the neighbors do not appreciate this on Mother’s Day. Reportedly residents moved out and set the fire.
If you as a resident have regular garbage pick up, outside burning is strictly prohibited—check with your HOA.
