AUSTIN, Texas — Travis County Emergency Services District No. 2 responded to an approximately 15-acre brush fire Wednesday afternoon off of Jesse Bohls Road in Pflugerville.
The Manor Fire Department, STAR Flight and the Texas A&M Forest Service were called in to assist in containing the fire.
As of 6:15 p.m. Wednesday, the fire was under control. Fire Chief Nick Perkins said there was "significant cleanup" that would require firefighters to be on the scene for several hours.
