Bexar County fire officials announced a new collaboration with multiple agencies to help fight and respond to grass or wildfires.
The Wildfire Strike team is a special unit focused on covering fires in east and west Bexar County and unincorporated areas that have large pieces of land and dry vegetation.
Bexar County fire officials said they have been responding to calls for grass and wildfires nearly every day, and this collaboration will help them coordinate and respond faster and stay on top of a fire before it spreads. Bexar County fire marshals said the dry conditions outdoors are essentially fuel that can make a brush fire spread quickly.
