VAN ZANDT COUNTY, Texas (KLTV) – Fire crews are monitoring what’s left of a Wills Point business burned by fire overnight.

Firefighters first arrived at the scene around 11:40 p.m. Tuesday, according to Grand Saline Fire Department public information officer Caden Mosher.

More than two dozen personnel from the fire and police departments in Wills Point, Edgewood, and Grand Saline responded, along with Oncor.
