You may notice an increased presence of first responders around Pegasus Foods on Saturday.

Don’t be alarmed – this is a planned full-scale emergency exercise involving our police, fire, and EMS teams. They’ll be practicing how to respond to a hazardous materials spill.

You may see police vehicles, fire trucks, drones, and responders in protective suits—this is all part of the drill.

Please note: The intersection of Observation Trail and Innovation Drive will be closed during the exercise. Refer to the map below for exact closure points (marked in orange). If you work in the Tech Park, you may need to take a short detour, but business access will remain open.

Who is the Rockwall County Herald-Banner?

The Rockwall County Herald-Banner is a hyper-local newspaper publishing every Friday. It is published by Herald Banner Publications, based in neighboring Greenville, Texas, part of the CNHI family of U.S. news outlets.

We cover Rockwall Independent School District; the City Councils of Rockwall, Heath, McLendon-Chisholm and Fate; the Rockwall Chamber of Commerce; and local nonprofits, crime, and neighborhood news. We also cover news from the Rockwall County Commissioners Court.

In addition to the print edition that is distributed on Fridays, we also update our website – https://www.rockwallheraldbanner.com/ – and our page regularly with news, human interest stories and local sports updates. If breaking news is urgent or potentially affects public safety (ie weather updates, traffic alerts, closed roads etc.), it will be published immediately on our social media channels.

We welcome any and all feedback and story suggestions, regardless of the topic or nature of the feedback. Email Editor Kristal Kuykendall at [email protected] with news tips, coverage requests, questions, or any other feedback. Breaking news and other urgent messages to the newsroom may be sent via text to the editor, 903-213-2990.
