Firefighters battle wildland fire


LAREDO, Texas – Fire crews responded to a wild land fire that threatened nearby homes in the Cheyenne Subdivision as well as warehouses near Aguila Azteca Rd. The fire was contained in a tract of land between Clark Blvd and Highway 359. Four fire trucks and 12 twelve firefighters were successful in containing the blaze before it could cause any damage to nearby structures.

Rough terrain and dry, thick brush presented a challenge to the crews in their efforts to fight the fire. It took firefighters four hours to finally extinguish the blaze. Fortunately, no injuries or material damages were reported.
