Every day, Mike Medina says, he prays someone driving on Loop 360 doesn't toss a cigarette into the Wild Basin near his West Lake Hills home, igniting a wildfire that could threaten his entire neighborhood.
For that reason, Medina and some other West Lake Hills residents are seeking to change an ordinance that prohibits homeowners from removing trees or brush from their property without city approval, lest they face a hefty fine.
"It doesn't take a genius to figure out what happened in Steiner Ranch and Bastrop could happen in West Lake Hills," Medina said. "It's imperative homeowners be able to remove fuels from around their homes."
