A San Marcos Fire Department Firefighter and a United States Marine Michael Mullinix lost his New Braunfels home to a fire on June 12.

“A lightning strike … started a fire that destroyed his home, leaving him and his family without many of their belongings and their home,” stated San Marcos Fire Chief Les Stephens. “While we’re grateful everyone is safe, they are now facing the overwhelming task of starting over. He has spent his life protecting our community and serving our country — now it’s our turn to step up and support him.”
