Boerne is not very fire prone. Wildfires do occur but are not exceedingly common. According to an annual report from the local fire department, there were 145 calls related to a fire, only 27 of which were building fires. Given the town population of around 20,000, this is a low risk of fire. Still, a low risk doesn’t mean there are no fires in Boerne. Those who are affected by fires go through the same struggles as those who live in areas where fires are more common.
