Tri-Community Volunteer Fire Dept

05/09/2026

Today was our annual Rodeo Day barbecue fundraiser for the Tri-Community Volunteer Fire Department, and we can’t thank this community enough for the support.

We served up chipped beef links and turkey legs, and thanks to everyone that came out, purchased from us, donated, or simply stopped by to support the department, we were completely sold out by around 1:30 this afternoon.

It took a full team effort to make today happen, and everybody played a part. We’re extremely grateful for all of the help and support from our community and sponsors.

A special thank you to Cartwright Springs for donating water for both the fire station and today’s benefit, and thank you to Jenny’s Fried Chicken in Kirbyville for donating all of the buns we needed for the fundraiser.

We’d also like to thank all of our other sponsors and supporters who helped make today a success.

To top it all off, we got to end the day on a fun note by taking the fire truck through the rodeo parade.

Thank y’all again for supporting your local volunteer fire department.

We are currently on scene of an overturned semi at the intersection of 1013 and 1005. Multiple agencies responded and are working to secure the area, assess the situation, and remove debris from the roadway.

Motorists are asked to use extreme caution when traveling through this area and to consider alternate routes if possible. The roadway will remain closed until cleanup operations are complete and it is safe to reopen to traffic.

One patient was evaluated on scene and transported to a local hospital for further medical evaluation. No additional information is available at this time.

We appreciate the public’s patience and cooperation as crews continue to work the incident.

A Tornado Watch has been issued by the National Weather Service until 7 PM this evening. The watch includes areas such as Houston, College Station, Liberty, and Jasper (areas shaded in red) — this watch is primarily north of areas like Winnie, Beaumont, and Orange!

Tornado Watch: means conditions can be favorable for a tornado. Tornado Warning: means a tornado is occurring or imminent — take action now!

We will continue to monitor showers and thunderstorms throughout the day; the main line of storms is expected to move into our region later this evening and overnight. The risk for heavy rainfall and the potential for strong to severe thunderstorms will likely be north of the I‑10 corridor, but we will continue to monitor the whole region throughout the evening and overnight as needed!
