A San Antonio family was left without a roof over their heads this weekend after a blaze tore through their Southeast Side apartment. The fire broke out yesterday evening, with firefighters rushing to the complex near Pecan Valley Drive and East Southcross Street, as FOX San Antonio reported.

According to officials, the call came in at around 6:05 p.m., and the fire was traced to a bathroom in one of, the lower units. Fire crews succeeded in confining the flames to the origin point, preventing further spread and potential devastation to the entire building. No injuries have been reported, despite the frightening scenario that led to a full evacuation of the residence.

The affected family is now faced with the uncertainties that come with displacement. Current investigations are ongoing to determine what sparked the fire, but the endgame of these queries offers little solace to those who must now rebuild their lives. As firefighters and investigators parse through the ashes, one can only imagine the disruption faced by those who called this unit home.

Damages have yet to be tallied, but the impact is far more than financial for the victims – housing, essential needs, and a sense of security are all casualties when the smoke clears. Local efforts to assist the family are presumably underway, but details on recovery initiatives, or, donations are still forthcoming.
