Piney FD was just dispatched to an possible gas main invlolved with an out of control grass fire. They are also finishing up another incident. Pike County is also working an grass fire.
Piney Units confirming that there is an gas line leak with this fire. Gas has not ignited as the fire is not close enough yet, Calling Centerpoint Energy to assist with the leak. Piney FD is staging a safe distance from leak to contain anything if it does ignite. Grass fire is out now just worried about the gas leak. Other grass fires throughout the region. Its a bad idea to burn anything today guys.
Piney paged to respond to yet ANOTHER grass fire out of control. These guys are working overtime today. Locking my feed on Piney FD until this one is finished. Will return to normal scanning if other agencies are called in, or once event is over.
Currently in Garland County- Piney, Mountain Pine, and Morning Star FD's are working incidents. Morning Star is assisting Lonsdale. Ouachita FD in Hotspring County is also working an fire, as are agencies in Montgomery County. State Forestry is in route to assist on the fire approaching the State Park.
