TxDOT evaluation reveals

said. “There’s so few of them
around now.”
Sebesta has suggested the
bridge be turned into part of
a walking trail, should the
determination be that it will
no longer be able to support
vehicles.
She has pledged help in
organizing fundraisers to sup-
port such a project.
“I think it will continue to
be a real attraction for visitors
to this community,” she said.
But what will ultimately
be done to the crossing is not
yet known. Wright said Fri-
day that TxDOT officials will
now consider “multiple alter-
natives” and establish cost fig-
ures for each.
After all of that is deter-
mined, a recommendation
will be made. Wright said it’s
not yet known when that will
occur.

nobody was in the house.”
With other Wharton and
Glen Flora fire units on the
way, Abbott flew into action.
Grabbing a portable spray-
can, he made a beeline for the
side of the house where the
smoke was heaviest.
“I pushed the air-condition-
ing unit into the window to let
some of the gases and smoke
out,” Abbott said. “I located
the fire in that room.”
Once other firefighters ar-
rived, an interior attack was
made through the front door.
The smoke was so heavy that
firefighters had to crawl on
the floor. The fire was quickly
extinguished once they made
it to the bedroom.
Though the structure was
saved, the smoke damage was
extensive. The walls in the
kitchen, living room and all
three bedrooms were stained
black from the smoke.
It’s believed that a window
AC unit, located in the girls’
bedroom, caused the fire.
“It looked like the wires
burned out on it,” Abbott said.
“It caught the floor on fire.”
Damage was most severe
in that part of the house, with
ash and soot ruining what the
flames didn’t consume. Dion-
dre Brown, who lives at the
address with Tiffany Jones
and her seven children, tries
to keep it all in perspective,
however. He said the quick ac-
tions of their neighbors most
likely kept the house from
burning to the ground.
Brown said he was work-
ing at his barbershop in
Wharton when he got a phone
call about the fire. Jones was
at her job at Richmond State
School. The kids were in
school.
“They called me and told
me the house was on fire,” he
said. “We lost just about ev-
erything.”

The American Red Cross
visited the family Wednes-
day to provide meal vouchers,
clothing and shoes. Brown
said the family will further
rely upon friends and fam-
ily members to provide their
needs while they determine
what to do next. He’s hoping
insurance will replace a por-
tion of what was lost.
Although the fire took
a heavy toll on the fam-
ily’s home and possessions,
Brown, who is also a minister,
said it’s important to focus on
what was saved. Had the fire
occurred at night, for exam-
ple, when everyone was home
asleep, there might have been
a far more tragic outcome.
‘We just thank God that he
has kept us covered,” Brown
said.
