AUSTIN, Texas \u2014 Two people are dealing with injuries following a two-alarm structure fire in East Austin Sunday.<\/p>\n
According to AFD, the fire occurred at the Austin Country Flea Market at 9500 E US 290. The first alarm came in at 5:22 p.m. and the second alarm came in just after 6 p.m.<\/p>\n
AFD said no other structures were impacted by the fire, but it did cause a multi-acre brush fire to spark nearby that included a tire pile which caused black smoke to billow into the sky. The brush fire was contained at around 7:45 p.m.<\/p>\n
The injuries were sustained by two civilians and are considered to be minor, according to AFD and Austin-Travis County EMS (ATCEMS).\u00a0<\/p>\n
The fire is now confined, but AFD crews still remain on scene. The cause of the fire is currently unclear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"According to the Austin Fire Department, the two-alarm fire sparked just after 5:20 p.m. Sunday.
