With cooler weather circulating and heightening the possibility of drier brush and thus fires, some Coastal Bend (TX) fire departments are being proactive, reports kiiitv.com.
Nueces County Emergency Service Department is receiving two new brush trucks, which can take a department further into a fire and get into areas where the previous apparatus could not, according to officials. The department also has a heavy-duty brush truck that will be ready for use soon.
The Corpus Christi Fire Department uses specific resources designed to combat brush fires. Plus, officials say the department has three stations designated as the brush truck teams.
Both departments are ready to assist local departments with mutual aid.
