Our very own Texarkana Fire Department is assisting crews in California with the wildfires.

Captain Chuck Weerts and his team have been assigned to the Creek Fire in Fresno County, California. This size of this fire is nearly 200,000 acres. That,s right 200,000. It is only 6% contained. Long, hard days ahead for all the firefighters involved.
