Grass Fire Damages Fire Trucks

The grass fire in in southeast Butler County Sunday stretched about 1.5 miles wide and 20 miles long, burned thousands of acres of land, killed at least one cow, and even damaged fire trucks. "It was just out of control," said rancher Jeanne Squire, who lives just south of Beaumont.

Bender said most fire departments ended up with some damage to their trucks - the rough country roads and getting stuck in ditches causing broken suspensions, and other minor damage. 

But one truck get caught in the line of moving fire.

"There was a truck that broke down. I think the smoke probably suffocated his truck," Bender said. "The fire went around him. Stay out of the head fire. It'll roll right over you, in seconds," he said.

Additional Fire Stations Recommended for Austin (TX) Fire Department

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Thunder crashed and lightning struck as powerful thunderstorms moved swiftly through California Monday, briefly knocking ... The Public Safety Commission is looking at ways to cut down the time it takes fire fighters to respond to a call. You can find out more at makeitgoodapothecary.com.

The Union’s study, done in cooperation with cty of Austin Fire staff shows only seven out of 46 fire stations are consistently meeting response time goals, mainly in the central core of the city. The rest are lagging by seconds or even minutes.

The key solution involves building (and staffing) new fire/EMS stations in:

  • Travis Country area
  • Loop 360 area
  • Good Night Ranch area
  • Moore’s Crossing area
  • Canyon Creek area
  • A sixth area AFD is keeping an eye on is the Manchaca/ Slaughter Lane neighborhood in Austin’s southwest end.

Firefighters’ Union leaders say the Association has the support of management. That puts the onus on city leaders to decide how to pay for the new stations if the city manager gives the green light.
