Long Afternoon Saturday for Your Kaufman Firefighters

It was a long afternoon for your Kaufman Firefighters, both City and Volunteer personnel.
Crews were dispatched to a reported vehicle and trailer fire at Highway 175 and FM 2578. City Engine 1 responded and, upon arrival, immediately requested mutual aid from the Kaufman Volunteer Fire Department. Volunteer Tanker 1, carrying 3,000 gallons of water, was dispatched to assist.
Due to the need for additional water supply and manpower, VFD Tender 3 and VFD Engine 3 were also requested to the scene.
Firefighters discovered that the trailer was loaded with bales of cardboard rather than hay as initially reported. Crews worked together to quickly bring the fire under control and prevent further damage.
The pickup truck pulling the trailer sustained only minor damage, and fortunately, no injuries were reported. County Fire Marshal on scene for investigation. Additional volunteers manned Central Station for any additional calls.

Great teamwork by all City and Volunteer personnel involved in the response. 🚒🔥

Your Kaufman firefighters, both paid and volunteer, had a busy night Monday evening.
Crews were dispatched to a residential structure fire on South Jackson Street. City and volunteer personnel responded and quickly went to work on scene. While operating at the first incident, a second structure fire was reported at a local apartment complex. Personnel cleared the Jackson Street scene while additional volunteers responded to the second alarm.
Kaufman VFD Engine 3 and City Ladder 1 responded to the apartment fire. Engine 3 arrived and reported light smoke showing from the second floor, with crews stretching an attack line and beginning fire suppression operations. City Engine 1 arrived shortly after and assumed command.
All occupants had safely evacuated prior to firefighters' arrival. Remaining residents were advised and educated on the situation as crews investigated. Ladder 1 arrived on scene but was ultimately not needed, as firefighters quickly located and extinguished a small fire in a restroom. Salvage and overhaul operations were completed, and all unaffected occupants were allowed to return to their apartments.
The American Red Cross was contacted to assist the one affected apartment unit. Mutual aid from Scurry VFD staffed Kaufman Central Station to provide coverage while Kaufman units remained committed to the incidents.
Outstanding work by both City of Kaufman Fire Department and Kaufman VFD personnel. Due to the quick actions of responding crews, damage was limited to a portion of a single apartment unit, preventing a much larger loss.
Thank you to all responding firefighters and our mutual aid partners for their dedication and teamwork
