Staff Reports

 

A fire broke out on the Rio Grande River Sunday afternoon.

At approximately 5:30 p.m. there was a notable amount of smoke in the southern area of International Bridge 2. 

EPPD and EPFD investigated, and with the help of immigration officers, realized it was carrizo, said Assistant Fire Chief Felix Carrazco.

The fire was on an island in the middle of the river, and therefore wasn’t accessible and couldn’t be put out. 

All they could do was monitor the flames, said Carrazco, who stated that they watched the blaze for hours.

The island was still on fire at around midnight, said Carrazco, but it was being watched the whole time. 

There was no danger, he added. 

Lack of rain, despite plenty at the beginning of the year, has made more grass fires, said Carrazco, who advises people that if they are going to make a fire outside, they should make sure they have the fire under observation and put it out correctly.
