Overview
- A major fire broke out in the Sand Branch area on Burns Drive and grew to roughly 10 acres, officials said.
- The Dallas County Sheriff’s Office alerted residents and deputies reported that people in the immediate area were evacuated.
- Firefighters from Dallas Fire-Rescue and a long list of mutual‑aid departments responded, and crews used aerial ladders, hand lines and an excavator to expose and put out hot spots.

- The cause remains under investigation and local leaders said the community’s lack of running water and fire hydrants complicated response and could prompt infrastructure action.
