SAFD reports 29% of fires they respond to in the city are at vacant buildings or homes.
SAN ANTONIO — San Antonio firefighters are no strangers to fighting. The number of these fires has been increasing the last several years, according to SAFD fire public information officer, Joe Arrington.
Arrington said it is an issue that his department has discussed with other departments across the country to help solve. He said many cities are experiencing the same problem, especially since the pandemic.“Like we saw recently on the west side, those vacant fires can spread,” Arrington said. “We’re just trying to clean up the area because we’re living here, we’re growing here and we just want to clean it up,” Marcos Sarmiento with OK Tours said.
Arrington said not all vacant structure fires are related to homelessness but it is an issue that he believes needs to be tackled in order to help the problem.
