Traffic alert for Anahuac!

⚠️ Attention Anahuac Area Residents ⚠️

Beginning May 19, 2026, motorists should expect intermittent closures of South Main Street in Anahuac, Texas as the Chambers County Road & Bridge Department performs extensive roadway replacement and repair work.

Please plan for possible traffic delays, use caution in work zones, and consider alternate routes when possible.

We appreciate your patience as these much-needed improvements are completed to help provide safer and improved roadways for our community.

INCIDENT ALERT

Crews are responding to a structure fire off Channelview and Bayshore Rd. Please be on the lookout for emergency vehicles responding to the scene and give us room to move safely!

Within an hour to two hours after leaving the scene where our engine was totaled, Winnie-Stowell Volunteer Fire Department unloaded one of their engines AND delivered it to our station for us to borrow until we can get ours replaced.

We want to publicly thank our brothers to the east for the hospitality. This is true generosity and teamwork. Thank you!

This morning is a great example of why we use our apparatus to block accident scenes. Our engine did her job and protected us from a distracted driver. If our engine hadn’t been there, that vehicle would have hit those of us working the original minor accident.

Please watch for apparatus and give us room to work. For everyone’s safety. Apparatus can be replaced. Lives cannot be.

Update:

Westbound I10 is back open.

While our engine is severely damaged, no first responders were harmed this morning. For that we’re very grateful!
