On October 9, 2019, a Denison Main Street fire swept through several downtown businesses. Fire departments from Denison and neighboring communities fought the fire for hours. In the end, all they could do was keep the fire from spreading. There has been an incredible outpouring of community support since the fire took place. This is a wonderful community filled with compassion for our neighbors and we have witnessed so much kindness over the past week. We want to give you an update on businesses that have been impacted:
