SECTION OF FM 3537 EAST MAIN STREET CLOSED DUE TO FIRE FUELED BY HAY BALES |
SECTION OF F.M. 3537 (EAST MAIN STREET) CLOSED DUE TO FIRE FUELED BY HAY BALES
(May 11, 2008) A one mile section of F.M. 3537-between Independence and Custer Road - is closed while firefighters tackle a large fire fueled by large stacks of hay bales, some stacked as high as 12 feet. Firefighters anticipate this section of F.M. 3537, which is commonly called 'East Main Street', will be closed the remainder of the day since heavy smoke continues to cover the roadway, hindering visibility in the
area.
Firefighters say they got the call at approximately 3:47 a.m. from a passing motorist. The fire spans an approximately two acre site used to store hay bales. Investigators are working to determine the cause of the fire; however, they say it appears suspicious.
Two engine companies, along with several brush trucks, are tackling the fire. No homes are threatened at this time. Motorists should avoid the area and find alternate routes. Motorists should also check the city's website, www.friscotexas.gov or updates before making their morning commute on Monday.
