JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-LACKLAND, Texas -- JBSA officials are asking personnel to be on the lookout after stray dogs bit a civilian woman and JBSA firefighter on Jan. 18 at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland.
Both individuals were transported to Wilford Hall Ambulatory Surgical Center on base for medical treatment and have been released.
The woman’s affiliation to the base is unknown. The firefighter is a member of the 902nd Civil Engineer Squadron and was a member of the response team.
