Longview firefighters helping battle fires across Texas

LONGVIEW, Texas (KETK) – Longview firefighters have been helping to put out fires all across Texas this past month.

Members of the Longview Fire Department who were in Lubbock helping to extinguish the wildfires in West Texas have returned home while a new group has been sent to Amarillo to help put out the fires still burning near there.

Longview firefighters returned from Lubbock on March, 11 after being dispatched to West Texas as part of the Texas Intrastate Fire Mutual Aid System (TIFMAS)

Longview also sent a crew to Amarillo on that same day to help put out the Windmill Fire in Perryton fire which has burned over 23,000 acres of land. The crew is currently positioned in Plainview and are expected to remain their for the next two weeks.

“The Longview Fire Department would like to thank the community for all the support and prayers that have been given to our crews at home and away fighting fires,” the department said.
