In a fast-moving, and somewhat confusing, week on the COVID-19 front, Milam County cumulative cases went up almost 50 percent and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott made mask-wearing mandatory in public under most circumstances.
Seth Mulac, and the rest of the Rockdale Volunteer Fire Department, didn’t have far to go at 8:50 a.m. last Wednesday for this fire in a detached garage at the Hector Garcia residence, 340 West Davilla. The RVFD Fire Station is on the corner of Bell and Wilcox just over a block away. Fire Chief Ward Roddam said an electrical failure is believed to be the fire’s cause. Volunteers kept the blaze from spreading to the house.
Milam County Precinct 1 voters have some unfinished business left over from March 3 Republican Primary, but they will finish taking care of it Tuesday.
