Multi-agency fire suppression efforts continue at JBSA-Camp Bullis

Training Area 23 Fire
Publication Type: News -

 Multi-agency fire suppression efforts continue at JBSA-Camp BullisJOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO, Texas – Joint Base San Antonio’s Fire departments from Camp Bullis, Fort Sam Houston, Lackland, and Randolph, as well as multiple fire departments, continue to respond to a wildfire which began in the demolition range area at JBSA-Camp Bullis. The fire is now 40% contained and approximately 2,800 acres have burned so far. Initial estimates of 4,000 acres burned were corrected this morning with accurate GPS mapping.

High winds are expected later today that will hamper containment efforts, but officials hope to contain the majority of the impact area and stop the fire from moving east towards Blanco/residential areas. JBSA fire crews worked through the night to contain the blaze and have changed shifts, with mutual aid partners starting to arrive. Aerial water drops have commenced again this morning. According to the Texas A&M Forest Service, crews conducted a tactical firing operation overnight to remove unburned vegetation between containment lines and the fire’s edge, helping to secure those lines. JBSA-Camp Bullis comprises more than 27,000 acres of ranges, training areas, and wildlands on San Antonio’s north side and is a training location for service members from Joint Base San Antonio. JBSA is working closely with emergency management partners to keep local communities informed.
