*Road Closure/Structure Collapsing* Brookshire Lake Blvd at Daniels Pkwy is closed due to portions of the road on the small bridge collapsing. The road and sidewalk is closed to all vehicles, bicycles and foot traffic. Thank you so much to the person who put up cones and immediately called 911. If you see something happen in your neighborhood, always say something.

South Trail Fire Department is highly discouraging homeowners to burn any storm debris. The landscape debris is very “green” and is causing smoke that is aggravating medical conditions and causing false calls to 911. Be a good neighbor, hold off on any burning.

Don’t call 911 for the Tesla in the ditch. South Trail Fire Department responded to a Tesla on fire on the back of a tow truck at Six Mile Cypress Pkwy and Michael G Rippe Pkwy in front of Sun Harvest. This electric vehicle had previously been submerged in saltwater from Hurricane Ian surge. When batteries of electric vehicles heat to the point of fire, it takes hours of copious amounts of water to extinguish. Our local roads and traffic congestion never need that blocking roadways and our firefighters and engines need to be helping people. So, command decided to soak the vehicle in water for the next day or two to be sure it is extinguished. Please do not call 911 to report the car, we know, it just needs a good cooling soak.
