TODAY’S MAJOR STRUCTURE FIRE: With the original alarm going out at 11:18am, SCF&R crews had remained on scene. At 6:42pm an alert went out for a rekindle at the location—one of our firefighters sustained substantial but not life threatening injuries. The firefighter was transported to Memorial Hermann in the Texas Medical Center for treatment. Most all local media were on location and have coverage. Command was finally terminated at approximately 9:00pm.

Busy Day
It’s been a busy and exciting day for us here in Sheldon. We were dispatched to 2 working vehicle fires back to back. While units were clearing those calls we were dispatched to a working RV Fire that was brought under control quickly. Then when E13 made it back to the station they had something waiting for them! Our brand new Rescue Boat and Zodiac Rescue Boat. This unit will be WR-23. Great work today [...]
