CEDAR CREEK LAKE–A series of multiple house and wildfires continue to keep the fire departments of Cedar Creek Lake busy during the ongoing triple degree heat. Gun Barrel City Fire Department responded to a structure fire at a residence in the 100 block of Lost Forest Road around 9:49 p.m. July 13. 
The first firefighter on the scene reported smoke coming from the attic vents on both sides of the house.  A resident of the house was home at the time of the fire along with their dog but were able to escape the fire and call 911. 

CEDAR CREEK LAKE–Gun Barrel City Mayor David Skains was the guest speaker at the July luncheon meeting of the Cedar Creek Lake Chamber of Commerce at the Cedar Creek Country Club. Skains was congratulated by the crowd on his recent win of a third term as mayor. According to the city charter, this will be his final term as the charter only allows three terms as mayor.
Skains began with an update on Welch Road, which he called the worst in the county, having now completed phase three of the road repair, completing 22 miles of road repair in the last year.

Mabank girls’ soccer camp 2022 was a success. With over 35 girls at camp, they beat the heat, got ice cold water poured on them daily, scored goals, made some new friends and had a ton of fun.
