Fireworks sparks blaze

Overgrown brush and trees were ignited by careless use of fireworks last Thursday afternoon near Bugbee Avenue and the JA Ranch Road. Clarendon Fire Chief Jeremy Powell said local firemen and a city front-end loader were able to get the fire under control but some trees continued to smolder for a couple of days.

Ray Pena of Ralls, Texas, goes down the slip and slide last week. He was among the more than 350 FFA members who were on the Clarendon College campus last week for the Area I FFA Leadership Conference. The four-day event brings kids and sponsors from all over the region to Clarendon and is an excellent recruiting event for the college in addition to being an economic boost to the community.

Lights out!

Downed transmission poles east of Clarendon plunged the city into darkness about 10 p.m. last Thursday night as high winds followed a heavy thunderstorm. AEP / Southwestern Electric Power Co. spokesman Tony Barley said an insulator on the city’s backup feed from Jericho failed cutting off power from that direction, and crews were being dispatched to fix that when they saw the flash from this wreck. Power was restored to the city after 2 a.m., but several Greenbelt Rural Electric Cooperative customers remained without power until Saturday afternoon since the downed lines connect with the cooperative’s substation outside the city.
