Smoke Detector Alerts Stonefield Resident

San Antonio firefighters responded about noon Wednesday to a dryer on fire on the 9200 block of Shadystone in the Stonefield subdivision.  According to an SAFD incident report, a smoke detector alerted a resident to a burning load of laundry resulting from a defective dryer.  Except for the loss of the dryer and clothes, the flames merely scorched an adjacent wall before firefighters smothered it with an extinguisher; a great testament to the value of smoke detectors.  There were no injuries.

Three engines and a ladder truck were on the scene for less than 30 minutes.   

CPS Energy Debuts Power Outage Website

Finesilver Ranch residents were spared power outages during the recent heavy weather, including a funnel cloud spotted over nearby Government Canyon Friday morning.

Interestingly, CPS Energy last month rolled out a website displaying an interactive map to check the extent of power outages across Bexar County. 

According to CPS, the map provides outage information 24 hours a day, updated every 10 minutes.  When known, the map may also provide an estimate for restoration of power in a specific area.

Of course, one hopes residents have an alternate source of power to reach the site should an outage impact FSR.  An Internet enabled cell phone comes to mind, so ensure it's charged when threatening weather approaches.

Call CPS Energy at (210) 353-HELP to report outages; your landline should work even if household power is out.
