Who does this?

A big shout out to the Beeville Police Department and the Texas Rangers!

While our deployed wildland crews were eating dinner at a local restaurant, a local criminal broke into two of our TIFMAS partner’s trucks and stole equipment needed to fight wildfires.

The citizens of Beeville took a dim view of this behavior and law enforcement was able to quickly solve the crimes thanks to their assistance.

The equipment is back on the trucks where it needs to be.

The First People of Montgomery County

Their oral history says that the Bidai were the original people in their region. The name Bidai is Caddo language term for "brushwood". The Bidai, who referred to themselves as the Quasmigdo, were a tribe of American Indians from eastern Texas.

French explorer François Simars de Bellisle described them as agriculturalists in 1718 and 1720. He wrote that they were allied with the Akokisa. They had three distinct villages or bands in the 18th century. The Deadose were the northernmost band of Bidai, who broke off in the early 18th century. The 18th-century population of Bidai was estimated to be 600 with 200 additional Deadoses.

The Bidai suffered several epidemics during 1776–77, reducing their population by at least half, from about 100[1] to 50. The survivors joined neighboring tribes, such as the Akokisas and Koasati.

In the 19th century some of the Bidai settled on the Brazos Indian Reservation in present-day Young County, Texas, and were removed with the Caddo to Indian Territory. The remaining Bidai formed one village about 12 miles from Montgomery, Texas, growing corn and picking cotton for hire. (Wikipedia)
