The fire happened just before 1 a.m. on September 24, 2015 in the 9500 block of Dunstable in west Bexar County. BCSO Deputy Cindy Hernandez arrived and found the house on fire with two wheelchair bound women inside the home. Deputy Hernandez forced entry and began carrying them out of the smoke filled house.
