Grass fire in Forney near FM 1641 and Helms Trail
At approximately 4:30 p.m. a grass fire ignited near Helms Trail on the east side of Forney, Texas on June 28, 2012. The fire was contained between the FM 1641 and County Road 212 corridor and spanned almost a mile long. The Forney Fire Department along with several other local departments were on scene to control the fire, focusing on controlling the blaze away from any homes or structures.

Kaufman County Sheriffs and Kaufman County Constables were controlling traffic on CR 212, Helms Trail, and within Grandview Estates.  The blaze did not touch any of the homes in Grandview Estates but it did touch the property lines of many of the homes in this housing development.

At this time there have been no reported injuries and it has not been confirmed what ignited this fire.  Stay tuned to inForney.com for more updates on this and other local news.
