NOONDAY — Two Noonday volunteer firefighters return from helping fight those West Texas fires. The area where they fought was in Graham, west of Fort Worth. They tell our news partner KETK they arrived Monday morning and worked for three days straight. Noonday Assistant Fire Chief Jonathan McLish called it “intense.” McLish says ten Anderson County firefighters also helped in the effort. In all, more than 1500 firefighters are working endlessly across the state to get those fires put out. In Possum Kingdom alone, fire has destroyed about 160 of the 3,000 homes.
