Residents of the Saddlebrook neighborhood near Braun and 1604 called the fire department Tuesday, 16 November after noticing smoke emanating from an attached garage on Preakness Pass. Their attempts to put the fire out with a garden hose failed when they couldn't open the garage door. The homeowner was away at the time of the fire, about 3:00 pm, according to an SAFD report.
Three engines, a ladder truck, and a medic made the scene with the first crew arriving in about six minutes. Damage was sustained throughout the garage, a wall on the second story, and a portion of the attic. A vehicle parked inside was also damaged.
Firefighters were on the scene for about 90 minutes. They determined the fire started among combustible materials stored on a shelf in the garage. The value of property lost was not given. There were no injuries.
It's been a busy month for Braun area SAFD stations. Firefighters also responded to brush fires reported at Braun and Leslie on the 13th, another at 1604 and Braun the 19th, and a small fuel spill at the Valero, Bandera and Prue, on 12 November.
