Numerous departments, including volunteers from Farmersville FD, battled a large grass fire last week that ended up destroying property.

Wednesday, Jan. 11, around noon emergency dispatch began receiving calls regarding a large grass fire on Live Oak near CR 448 outside Princeton.

What started as a half-acre fire quickly spread to consume more than 20 acres, according to information released on scene by Princeton Fire Chief Tom Harvey.
