A brush fire near Interstate 10 and Foster Road Sunday afternoon scorched the backyard fences of some homes nearby. Homeowners say the owner of the property where the fire started should make changes to prevent that kind of danger in the future.
Fire fighters from the City of San Antonio and Bexar County Emergency Services District #11 worked together to battle the blaze, which broke out in a heavily wooded area within both jurisdictions near Interstate 10 and Foster Road.In some cases, they left the fences behind people’s homes scorched.
While Deboer’s home escaped damage, the flames lapped at the fence behind the home next door, which is owned by his son’s family.In other sections, the smoke and flames turned the cedar wood’s natural color to a pale shade of grey.Instead, this was the second time he had to worry about losing his home to a brush fire.
He and other neighbors worry this won’t be the last time. They say with the hot, dry weather, it’s only a matter of time before another fire breaks out among all the brush and trees on that stretch of undeveloped land.
