On June 17, 2007 around 6:50 p.m. the
Comanche County 9-1-1 received a call from a lady that was stuck in
high water on County Road 343 near the Erath County line.
The caller advised that water was up to
her doors and she was still in the vehicle. Proctor Volunteer Fire
Department and the Comanche County Sheriff's Office responded. Proctor
Fire arrived and pulled the driver and her vehicle out of the water.
While returning to the station one of Proctor’s trucks was disabled by
high water and had to be pulled back to the station. >>Full Story<< |

old clinic building on Hwy 16, and subsequent renovations,
“hard-working” seems a more apt description than ever. >>Full Story
