The Brown County Sheriff’s Office would like to recognize all those who assisted with the large brush fire last week. All firefighters, EMS and Texas A&M Forest Service did a stellar job of protecting lives, structures and livestock.

The Brown County emergency dispatchers, various local and state law enforcement and our patrol deputies coordinated and relayed information vital to the operation, while in a hectic and volatile environment.

I believe all citizens of Brown County will join in appreciation for a job well done protecting our loved ones.

-George M. Caldwell, Brown County Sheriff
