Wildfire Damages Steiner Ranch Homes
Posted: Thu, 13 Oct 2011 11:29 AM - 8,769 Readers
By: Taylor Short
The fire that destroyed 23 houses and damaged three others in the
roughly 1,000-home Steiner Ranch neighborhood during the Labor Day
weekend spurred regional firefighters and emergency personnel into
action. Gov. Rick Perry surveyed the damage from a helicopter before
reassuring the public at a news conference Sept. 6.
Emergency professionals were stretched thin across Central Texas,
fighting fires in Bastrop, Spicewood, plus smaller flare-ups in Leander
and Austin, in addition to almost 60 other fires across the state, Chief
of State Emergency Management Nim Kidd said.
Since containing the blaze, Lake Travis Fire and Rescue Chief Jim
Linardos said his department continues to keep an eye on the area as the
dry conditions could extend well into 2012.
