A family on San Antonio's South Side has been left without a roof over their heads after a fire tore through their attic late Sunday evening. The blaze, which is now under investigation, erupted around 9 p.m. at a home on St. Francis Avenue near South Flores Street. Firefighters were to quickly knock down the flames, preventing it from consuming the entire structure, according to FOX San Antonio.
While everyone inside the home managed to get out safely, they are now faced with the task to find temporary living arrangements due to the extent of damage caused by the fire. The cold snap hitting the area has prompted officials to investigate whether it played a part in sparking the attic fire, as reported by KENS 5.
The San Antonio Fire Department responded to the emergency call on the 200 block of St. Frances Avenue, bringing the situation under control quickly after arrival. No injuries were reported in the incident, and firefighters will continue their investigation to confirm the cause of the fire. No estimate has been revealed regarding the cost of the damages to the home.
