A church air conditioner fire caused only unit damage and a small blaze from an overloaded motor was stopped before crews arrived. A dryer fire at 610 Fairview caused about 375 dollars in damage. A hay bale grass fire on Lookout Drive may have been started by children. Melting metal from a Texas Power and Light transformer pole caused a grass fire behind a service station on West Spring.
