PHOTO - Seguin firefighters responding to a call during Hurricane Harvey found themselves needing a little help. After responding to a call on Timber Elm in the Elm Grove area, a tree fell due to the high winds onto the cab of the fire engine, disabling the truck. While no injuries were reported, Seguin Fire Chief Dale Skinner said it served as a stark reminder of what can happen in high wind situations. “It could have been very tragic for us — the tree’s trunk was merely inches from the head of the driver of the truck,” he said.
