Seguin Fire Department invites community Burn barrel causes house to “Push-In” Ceremony fire in McQueeney Investigation also underway for structure fire in Redwood Cindy Aguirre-Herrera
(Guadalupe county) -- Guadalupe County fire crews battled a house fire Wednesday night after flames spread from a burn barrel to a nearby home and garage in McQueeney. Patrick Pinder, Guadalupe County fire and emergency management coordinator, says the incident was reported at 8:30 p.m. in the 400 block of Woodcreek Circle. “The fire began in a burn barrel. We had a resident in the community who was burning in a barrel and the fire got out of control and
then spread to adjacent structures which was the house and the garage area,” said Pinder. Lake Dunlap, McQueeney and Guadalupe County Fire Rescue units all responded to the blaze. Pinder says the fire broke out the same day Guadalupe County officials enacted a burn ban for the unincorporated areas of the county. While the order restricts most outdoor burning, Pinder says some limited burning is still permitted. Fire, pg. 3
Two new pumper trucks to be added to fleet Cindy Aguirre-Herrera
(Seguin) – Way before fire trucks had engines, firefighters had muscle. In the late 1800s, when horsedrawn fire wagons couldn’t be backed into their bays, crews would unhitch the horses and push their
equipment inside by hand. Now more than a century later, Seguin Fire Chief Dale Skinner says that tradition continues—not out of necessity, but out of respect. Trucks, pg. 3
