(Red Oak) Firefighters responded to 1912 D Avenue in Montgomery County on Thursday afternoon for a rubbish Fire that had gotten out of control and spread quickly.

Chief Bruce says fire crews quickly knocked down the flames and extinguished the outbuilding. He says considerable salvage/overhaul operations occurred due to the extensive accumulation of various materials stored in the Fireground area.
There were no injuries, and ground operations were terminated at 4:52 p.m.
Mutual aid departments were as follows: Emerson FD, Stanton FD, Elliott FD, Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office, and Montgomery County Communications.
