Forward To A Friend
Two Colleyville firefighters are headed to South Texas as
part of a DFW fire strike team requested by the State of
Texas.
The State requested a fire strike team to respond to South
Texas on Aug. 30. The team includes the North East Fire
Department Association, which Colleyville serves, along
with the fire departments of Fort Worth, Arlington, Grand
Prairie, Garland, Irving, and Burleson.
The Colleyville Fire Department has deployed two
firefighters as part of the team. Captain Cushing and
firefighter Franco have been assigned to a Hurst firetruck
with two Hurst firefighters. The strike team features 12 fire
engines, two aerials, four chief officers, one fuel truck, one
attack truck, one heavy rescue, and one brush truck.
City treats site with larvacide for West Nile Virus
The City of Colleyville will apply larvacide after a mosquito
sample site tested positive for West Nile Virus. Tarrant
County Public Health notified city staff on Aug. 30 of a
positive mosquito sample taken from the 6500 block of
Pleasant Run Road.
Crews will apply larvacide and continue treatment and
testing at this location. Because this is the first positive test
in this location, the City will not spray the site at this time.
City staff notified residents within a quarter-mile area of
the sample sites via CodeRED.
