Fletcher said. “Fortunately none of
them were damaged.”
A second fire, he said, started on
Farm-to-Market Road 3496 after a
man dumped his fireplace ash into his
brush pile.
Fletcher said the reported
blaze consumed about an
acre of land but no property
was damaged.
There were no reported
injuries from either fire, he
said.
The entire county is now
in severe drought, Fletcher
told members of the Cooke
County Commissioners’
Court on Thursday morning.

is required by
state law to
review their
traffic stop data
annually.
The
requires
law i
ment agencies
submit a report
by March 1 on
vehicle stops
during the pre-
vious year.
Last year,
Gainesville
police officers
made 3,572 stops
that resulted in either citations or arrests, Phillips
said.
“We take those percentages and break those
down and compare those to the demographics in
our community to make sure we don’t see any dis-
parity or any issues there,” Phillips said. “We’ve
done so this year, and we don’t see any issues.”
