The Balch Springs Fire Department said on Monday, they only had one brush truck, which made fighting the wildfire difficult.
- The Colony Fire Department said when fighting wildfires, having access to brush trucks is imperative.
"Us only having one brush truck and every time it would stop to refuel, whatever they had extinguished is kind of picking back up momentum again," Fire Marshal Sean Davis said."You could never get ahead of it." "Equipment wise, we're struggling with getting brush trucks," Dallas Fire Fighters Association President Jim McDade said.
"Stuff breaks," he said."This weather is really hard. Normally, we have four around the city, so as soon as we can get those back in service. I believe one is back in service and they're trying to get the others fixed as fast as they can."
