event_narrativeNumerous grass fires were started across north Texas due to low humidities, strong winds, and the ongoing drought. A grass fire burned 6,000 acres in Callisburg, Cooke County when high winds caused electrical lines to touch and spark. One woman was killed when she fell and broke her hip fighting the fire. Firefighters were unable to reach her in time. In addition, four permanent homes and two mobile homes were destroyed. Ten barns were destroyed and two were damaged. Two other grass fires burned eighty acres near Arlington Municipal Airport in Tarrant County. Several mobile homes were destroyed, as well as five permanent homes on Mitchell Parkway. Fires also burned several acres in Colleyville, Tarrant County, where one home was destroyed. A large fire in Granbury, Hood County, burned several acres and destroyed 30 homes. A number of livestock were also killed in the fire. A total of ten firefighters were treated for smoke inhalation and heat exhaustion from these fires.
