Big Blaze In Bandera
BANDERA, TEXAS CALLS ITSELF THE “Cowboy Capital of the World.” The old settlement suffered a downtown fire last night that destroyed the town’s oldest building along with another business and inflicted severe water damage to one of its major tourist attractions, the Old Spanish Trail restaurant.
The fire was well underway when the FD’s were called and the surrounding volunteer fire depts. were able to contain the fire to those buildings. None of the departments out there has a ladder truck, so they pressed into service some line trucks of the Bandera Electric Co-op and created some aerial streams.
The San Antonio Express-News has the full STORY.
TV station WOAI has a VIDEO.
