Two years of drought and desperate for rain. South Central Texas has dealt with drought conditions for 730 days, dating back to September 2021.
On Thursday, a fire on the 25000 block of Dune Avenue in South Bexar County left five trailer homes damaged -- one of them was a complete loss.
Fire officials said mobile homes can be more vulnerable than a standard house. They said that, because of the lighter construction, they’re more combustible and easier to collapse. “If you add any wind to this, and for example, you immediately can have, yes, a 3-quarter-acre fire, but all of the sudden, we’re looking at a hundred acres, and it’s not a far stretch. We’ve seen it,” said Peine.
