Once they arrived firefighters began trying to control the fire in order to save structures that were around the fire. 

The fire was put out after spreading six acres. 

Units with the Grape Creek, Quail Valley Volunteer Fire Department and Texas A&M Forest Service were called into to assist the SAVFD.
