Fire was located near Loop 410 and Old Pearsall Road; brush fire considered under control
SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio firefighters are still closely monitoring a grass fire in southwest Bexar County, more than 12 hours after the initial call was placed.
The fire was reported at the Nelson Brush Recycling Center at approximately 8 p.m. Sunday. The recycling center is located near Loop 410 and Old Pearsall Road.
Strong winds throughout the night and early morning accelerated the potential for a fire to spread.
An SAFD spokesperson did not have additional information about the fire. There are some fire crews actively working to put it out, the spokesperson said.
