After stepping down as coach of the Longhorns, Mack Brown moved most of his Texas memorabilia to his home in North Carolina, not far from Charlotte.

Any landing you can walk away from is a good one, right?

A Lufkin landmark, Fullers Buffet, caught fire and burned today (Feb. 18th).  Fullers Buffet had been a Lufkin institution for many years, serving homestyle food to East Texans.  The fire began sometime after 2pm when the restaurant had closed for the day.

We've always known firefighters were heroes, but recently a few in East Texas were given that exact title officially. The Lufkin Fire Department Honor Guard was recognized last week at the Texas State Forest Festival during the "Hometown Heroes" event.

Five year old Measia Poole is a little girl with big sounds beaming from her lungs.  She woke up an entire household just in the nick of time, before a blaze tore through the home she was living in with her Mother, Katrina Poole, and three year old brother, Tyler.

Would you rush into a burning building to save someone? Two Jacksonville police officers were honored recently for doing exactly that June 15th.

The Texas Parks & Wildlife Department released this footage of a wildfire consuming the 6,000-acre Bastrop State Park, where, as of Tuesday, all but 100 acres have been blackened while firefighters battle to save a number of historic Civilian Conservation Corps cabins.

Well I was doing my daily browsing of the interwebs when I came across this video that might come in handy if you're ever stranded in an icy wilderness, or you just want to burn some ants and you don't have a magnifying glass.
