Briar News

The canopy over the gas pumps at Allsup's convenience store, just west of Azle, was damaged as a rotating storm system roared through the area Tuesday night.

Pity the officer that had to sort through a mess on Boyd Road late Tuesday afternoon, the first of three accidents within 35 minutes.

By the time Briar volunteer firefighters arrived at the house on Moran Road north of Azle last Sunday morning, it was filled with smoke.

Pelican Bay volunteer firefighters are no strangers to controversy - but a debate that had been quiet for awhile sparked once again after a fire destroyed a single-wide mobile home in the city late last week.

What a difference a few days makes. Snow fell on the Azle area for the second time in less than a week Tuesday, but absent 30 to 50 mile-an-hour winds, the second occasion was much closer to Currier and Ives' ideal for a white Christmas.
