Fire destroys home and business on San Antonio’s Southwest side

SAN ANTONIO (KTSA News) — Firefighters were challenged by hot and windy conditions as they battled flames on the city’s Southwest side Thursday night.

The call from the 2500 block of Southcross came in just after 8:30 P.M.

When firefighters arrived the home was fully engulfed, so they focused on trying to keep the flames form spreading to neighboring buildings.

But the wind swept fire made its way to a mechanic shop located next door.

Once the fire was out, both buildings were a total loss but firefighters were able to prevent other buildings from being damaged.

No injuries were reported and investigators are still looking for the cause.
