The San Antonio Fire Department had a busy morning Friday with four structure fires across the city.
SAFD spokesman Joe Arrington said firefighters have to account for additional exposure when it’s windy.
“Whether it’s another building or a potential grass fire, embers blowing and starting, you know, spot fire somewhere else, it’s a genuine concern,” Arrington said.A large fire on Wednesday in south Bexar County closed down Highway 281. The wind was gusting that day between 25 and 30 mph, and the drier air also made for an increased fire risk.Arrington said homeowners near less-developed, wooded and grassy areas need to be especially sure they have a “defensible space” around their houses.
“Make sure that any dry brush or grasses are cut back and kept away from your home. Make it so that we can defend your structure if a grass fire does spread into your neighborhood,” Arrington said.
