The story says everybody is safe but there is no mention of the owner of the GMC in the background in of one of the pictures.

Tom,

I don't think that's a GMC, the windows are not quite right.

Looks like a brush fire jumped I-10. The winds were blowing about 20-30 knots yesterday.

Since it's in the backgound of the pic, the profile looked a bit skewed to me as well, maybe a Revcon. Don't know of any SOB that has that profile. Couldn't see the bottom fiberglass. Maybe somebody in the Boerne area can see or knows if it was a GMC.

What I saw in the background of Pic #3 didn't
appear at all to be a GMC TZE. Windshield is
wrong and too many other window spaces on BOTH
sides, as far as this TZE novice can see!

Am I looking at a different pic?

It looks like a Yukon/Denali type. Same one in background of first
pic. At least that is what I see.

Actually, I'd suspect some sort of a van conversion.
Note that the bottoms of the windows in the burned
vehicle are much lower than those of the doors.

Also, it is obviously of all-steel construction.

Maybe a conversion of a "commercial" van equivalent
to one of the 15 passenger size??
