Montague County was placed under a ban on outdoor burning for all unincorporated area in the county effective Jan. 12
Precinct Three Commissioner Mark Murphey told the court he had spoken with many of the fire chiefs and they all feel it is time for the burn ban.
“Some of them have had multiple including several bigger ones where welders were not taking the necessary precautions causing fires. I move we do the ban and emphasize welding precautions that are required,” explained the commissioner, who also is a volunteer firefighter.
The court gave unanimous consent to the motion.
This frame house at 3013 State Highway 101 was destroyed by fire around 7 a.m. on Jan. 12. Bowie Rural Fire Chief Randall Preuninger said the house was under renovation and the fire appears to have started in the laundry room going into the attic. The home, owned by Brady Fielder, was occupied by several residents and while they were able to retrieve some items, the home was a total loss. Bowie Rural, Bowie City, Sunset, Forestburg and Alvord Fire responded, along with the sheriff’s office and emergency management. (Courtesy photo)
