Brush Fire Near Austin Airport | Austin News

A brush fire erupted near the Austin Executive Airport in Pflugerville, Texas, Sunday morning, quickly spreading across ten acres. Firefighters from multiple agencies, including Travis County ESDs, Austin Fire Department, and STAR Flight, raced to contain it — aided by dozers and even Air 1 from the Austin Police Department. The main blaze was brought under control by 12:20 PM, but crews remain on site for “mop up” to extinguish every ember. With dry conditions making fires spread fast, officials are urging everyone to be extra cautious — especially with outdoor cooking or anything that could spark near dry grass. Stay vigilant this season — a small spark can turn into a big problem. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
