(Guadalupe County) — A pair of structure fires kept area firefighters busy over the weekend.
Patrick Pinder, the emergency management coordinator and fire marshal says both fires were reported on Sunday afternoon.
The first one destroyed an RV and damaged another one in the 1700 block of Poplar Road. The fire was reported at 3:12 p.m.
Pinder says the fire was started by an adjacent control burn that got away. The owner did not have insurance. The American Red Cross was called in to temporary provide shelter to that owner.
Fire departments called in to assist included the Guadalupe County Fire and Rescue, York Creek and San Marcos.
The second fire destroyed a local barn. Pinder says it took firefighters approximately 30 minutes to extinguish the fire that consumed the structure in the 5600 block of Wilke Rd.
Pinder says this property was insured. He also reports that the fire investigation does not look suspicious. Some of the show lambs housed in the barn, however, did die.
Fire departments providing mutual aid included York Creek VFD, Kingsbury VFD, GCFR, Martindale Fire Department, and Seguin.
