JOHNSON COUNTY, Texas – An approximately 1,100-acre grassfire is currently posing a threat to structures in Johnson County on Sunday. The Godley Fire Department, along with several other Johnson County departments, the Crowley Fire Department, and the Texas A&M Forest Service, are actively working to contain the fire. As of now, the fire is 25% contained, according to TFS.
With a massive response effort underway, the scene currently consists of 30 fire trucks, four air bosses, two heavy helicopters, and a 737 en route to provide assistance. TFS has confirmed that dozer lines have been established on the right and left flanks of the fire to help mitigate its spread.
