According to a tweet on the New Braunfels Fire Department Twitter page, Solms Road is closed between FM 482 and Wald Road and could remain that way for some time.The fire broke out around 1 a.m. at Eggemeyer Land Clearing, located in the 300 block of Solms Road.The flames and smoke could be seen from as far away as Interstate 35.That section of Solms Road is a busy route for truckers, many of whom had to quickly find another way around.
He and others who stopped by the site said this was not the first time there had been a mulch fire at that site. Poole said he pitched in to help extinguish another, smaller fire at that business a little more than four years ago. “They could use all the help they can get. It’s a daunting task and it’s a dangerous task too,” he said. “We came with a track hoe and started digging in the pile and spraying the center. We got that one under control.”They said it did not damage or threaten any other homes or businesses, and no one was injured.The fire department says crews will allow the fire to burn out on its own, and they could remain on site monitoring it for another day or so.
