Port Lavaca Fire Chief Cites Carelessness Behind Most Blazes
Fire chief Ray Stringham says neglect and pure carelessness cause most Port Lavaca fires. The department logged over 120 calls this year, mainly minor blazes in kitchens, electricals, and cars, with grease fires and appliance misuse topping the culprits. Major losses included a $30,000 attic grease fire and an $8,000 vandalism fire in a warehouse, plus other incidents from faulty dishwashers to gas-tank explosions. Stringham urged voluntary home fire surveys and cautioned that improved cooking and housekeeping could cut fires by about half.
