CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — A 15-acre brush fire on Cape Valero Road Wednesday morning was contained following a coordinated response from several agencies, according to Rockport Fire Chief Michael McCallister.
The chief said the fire is believed to have reignited from an earlier incident on Sunday and was not a controlled burn.
McCallister said firefighters from the Rockport Volunteer Fire Department, Fulton VFD, Lamar VFD, Ingleside VFD and the Aransas Pass Fire Department worked alongside the Texas A&M Forest Service and the Aransas County Sheriff’s Department to contain the flames. Allegiance Ambulance and Texas Division of Emergency Management community liaison officers Joe Geistman and Joshua Ramirez also assisted at the scene.
