Firefighter Reaches New Heights

When he’s not fighting fires and assisting with rescues, Trace Billings is climbing to higher heights. The Cleburne firefighter successfully climbed Nepal’s Ama Dablam, which is next to Mount Everest.

Billings said the mission was tough, and the climb took nine hours. The climb back down took nearly 20 hours. He noted that the Ama Dablam journey lived up to its reputation of being a very technical and exposed climb.

More Holiday Fun at the Library

Enjoy a Saturday of holiday family fun at the Cleburne Public Library! On Dec. 9, there will be an afternoon of games, snacks, craft time and a family movie.
