A few people asked me what all the fire trucks this afternoon near Malakoff and Cross Roads were about, so I reached out to Henderson County Fire Marshal Shane Renberg.

Renberg said there was a 25-acre grass fire off State Highway 59 near Cross Roads that took the County Fire Marshal’s Department and fire departments from Trinidad, Caney City, Eustace, Payne Springs, Tool, a department from Anderson County and the Texas Forestry Service to extinguish.

Renberg said the fire is now out except for some minor hot spots.

He said the cause of the fire was a cigarette butt thrown into a ditch.
