Flower Mound firefighters help battle wildfires

The Flower Mound Fire Department is among several area departments who have headed west to help battle the wildfires in Montague, Wise and surrounding counties.

Four members of Flower Mound's department have spent the last two days in various towns of Montague County, northwest of Denton County, battling a grass fire that has claimed lives and destroyed thousands of acres, as of Friday afternoon.

Flower Mound Fire Chief Eric Metzger said 60 members of his department volunteered to go.

"Everyone was concerned and wanted to go," Metzger said. "It's just like anyone else in the fire service, they all wanted to help."

Flower Mound sent two apparatus operators, a captain and another firefighter to the area on a brush truck and a water tender.

Local firefighters, including those from the Lewisville, Carrollton and Lake Cities departments, met in Denton on Thursday afternoon before heading to the Texas Forest Service in Decatur.

From there, they headed to the city of Montague to battle blazes and went to other towns, such as Forestburg and Saint Jo.

"Right now, we're just mopping up the fires," said Flower Mound apparatus operator Wade Woody on Friday afternoon. "There aren't a whole lot of new fires, but there are some that are re-kindling and taking off again. We're going from small fire to small fire before they turn into big fires."

The fires started Thursday and have affected 12 counties: Archer, Clay, Eastland, Hamilton, Jack, Palo Pinto, Parker, Stephens, Wichita, Wise and Young.

"There have been high winds, lack of rain, high temperatures and low humidity," Metzger said. "It's all the right conditions for a perfect storm."


Thursday afternoon, wind blew smoke and the scent of burning from the fires into the D/FW area, including Flower Mound.

Metzger said the crew is expected to return Saturday morning, unless the fire continues.

"If it extends beyond (Saturday), we'll swap out," Metzger said. "Our guys got three hours of sleep in the truck, so they're going to be exhausted."

Identity theft victims fight back, bust pizza-purchasing suspect

LEWISVILLE, Texas - Texas ranks fourth in the nation for the number of identity theft victims, according to the latest numbers from the Federal Trade Commission.

Most victims range from 18 to 39 years old.

But when it came to the case of one Flower Mound couple, they decided to get answers rather than sit back after they became identity theft victims. Ultimately, their actions led to a suspect's arrest.

Brad and Sarah Bailey first learned they were targeted after Wells Fargo informed them of suspicious charges to their account. They were charged $70 to Romeo's Pizza.

"I was irritated," said Mrs. Bailey. "I was devastated. Right now, the last thing anybody needs is to have money depleted out of their account."

The charges didn't end there. They were charged more than once for food they never ordered from the same pizzeria.

"I couldn't let it go," Mr. Bailey said.

In a search for answers, Mr. Bailey decided to make a visit to Romeo's Pizza. He talked to the manager who told him to bring a police officer if he wanted to know where the pizza was delivered. So, Mr. Bailey did just that and returned with an officer.

Ultimately, the Lewisville police officer ended up at a Motel 6, which is where police said they found the suspect and more evidence in one of the rooms. Police confiscated equipment that the suspects allegedly used to create credit cards.

"They confessed to everything ... and what they were doing was going and getting gift cards and they were using this equipment to make credit cards," Mr. Bailey said.

Semmie Isaiah Williams was arrested and charged with fraud. A debit card with the Baileys' account information on it was also found by police.

"How many people get that type of satisfaction to say, 'The person that did that to me, they're in jail," Mr. Bailey said.

"Well, I called him Magnum P.I. that night," said Mrs. Bailey of her husband.
