VIDEO/PHOTOS: Celina firefighters managed to contain a large fire before it could spread very far after multiple homes under construction went up in flames on Sunday, January 30. Just after 5:00 p.m., Celina firefighters received a structure fire call from the 2800 block of Field Street in Celina.
Two or three homes under construction had caught on fire. The heat became so intense that nearby homes were threatened and that a grass fire was sparked to the north of the Bluewood subdivision just south of the Collin college campus.
Jeff Hershberger lives about 50 feet from the homes that caught on fire. He said that in addition to the fire department units who responded, several of his neighbors âwhom he had never met beforeâ rushed to help contain the blaze.
