In a swift response to a distress call on Thursday night at approximately 7:40 PM, members of the Centerpoint Fire Department sprang into action. The call reported a large fire accompanied by explosions in the vicinity of Ramah Baptist on Rabbit Trail Road.
Upon arrival, the fire crews discovered two separate brush fires blazing on different properties. The situation was closely monitored, and the property owners were promptly informed about the current burning restrictions in effect. Despite thorough investigation, the source of the explosions remained elusive.
Assistance in managing the fires was provided by the South East and Crossroads Fire Departments, in collaboration with the LCSO and LCEMS. The coordinated efforts of these teams were instrumental in containing the fires and ensuring the safety of the surrounding areas.
