Last night, 10/10/2026, @ approximately 7:50pm, NBFR was dispatched to the 400 block of Sport Aviation Drive within the Zuehl Airport for a hanger fire.

NBFR units went enroute and immediately called for mutual aid from Marion Volunteer Fire Department - Marion, Texas as well as Bexar County ESD 12 Fire / Rescue and Guadalupe County Fire Rescue.

Units arrived on location and found a working structure fire involving multiple hangers. Fire units worked on scene for around 3 hours to ensure the fire was extinguished and no further extension had occurred.

Despite original reports indicating a subject might still be within the structure, no injuries to civilians or firefighters occurred.

Unfortunately there was significant damage to the hangers, as well as several vehicles and airplanes parked within the structure.

We’d like to give a big thank you to all units that assisted us on scene including the departments listed above, as well as: Guadalupe County Sheriff's Office, Guadalupe County Texas Emergency Management and Fire Marshal, our awesome Guadalupe County dispatchers, and Lake Dunlap Fire Department for moving an engine and command unit down to help cover our response areas while we operated on scene.
