Two men injured while using fireworks on July 4
Emergency personnel were called to a property on Private Road 273 off Farm-to-Market Road 1125 at 10:08 p.m. on July 4 for a possible fireworks injury.
According to Bowie Rural Fire Department Chief Randall Preuninger Bowie EMS and Bowie Rural responded to the call where a male subject had chest injuries from fireworks. On arrival they found two injured males.
One adult male was “critically injured” and transported via Bowie EMS. Air Evac responded to the scene, but the patient went to Medical City Decatur by ground ambulance. He was then sent to a trauma center, said the chief. One adult male with a serious leg injury was transported by Nocona EMS to Nocona General Hospital for treatment.
Names of the injured were not available from the fire department or sheriff’s office.
Officials with the sheriff’s department reported the firefighters called for a deputy to come to the scene due to several possibly intoxicated party goers.
Two deputies responded, but no arrests or formal incident reports were made.

The annual summer chlorine conversion at the City of Bowie Water Treatment Plant will run Aug. 6 to Sept. 5.
Jerry Sutton, plant supervisor, said customers may notice some minor odor and taste issues with the water during this period as the treatment system changes disinfectant. This is a yearly state mandate for the conversion. Questions may be directed to the water plant at 940-872-6414
The plant uses a combination of ammonia and chlorine called chloramines. Across a period of time those ingredients build up in the system and it takes a change to straight chlorine across 28 days to clear it out. At the end of 30 days the water should return to normal.
