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.
