Firefighters worried about fireworks
Local volunteer firefighters were called out Sunday afternoon to battle yet another grass fire started by lightning, this time eight miles north of Albany on CR 109.
The firefighters are also trying to stay hydrated in light of the extreme heat and are asking for donations of water and sports drinks.

“Ernie Bernstein actually saw the lightning hit,” said Shackelford County Rural VFD chief Brad Henry. “We were called out about 5:00 p.m. on Sunday afternoon.”
