🚨 Reverse Fire Media Update #1 - As of Tuesday, May 13 at 9 PM 🚨

The Fredericksburg Fire/EMS Department in conjunction with the volunteer fire departments of Gillespie County, crews from across the region and the Texas A&M Forest Service are continuing to work the Reverse Fire in western Gillespie County.

As of the last update from the Texas A&M Forest Service, the affected area is estimated at 75 acres and is 45 percent contained.

The fire started around 2:45 p.m. on Tuesday, near the 400 Block of East Grand Oaks Dr. It has generally moved east and north and is located between U.S. Highway 290 and Reeh-Weinheimer Road. Dozers from the Texas A&M Forest Service have worked to clear a containment line. Crews also utilized a drone and helicopter to direct crews on the ground.

“Thanks to the coordination and quick response of our crews, we were able to get containment started on this fire,” Fredericksburg Fire Chief Lynn Bizzell said. “Cedar trees and numerous piles of dead vegetation throughout the area continue to ignite and throw embers to start new spot fires. Our team will continue to work throughout the night to make sure there are no flareups.”
