Early this morning, a fire erupted that resulted in the destruction of two sheds on the Northeast Side of San Antonio, causing an estimated $12,000 in damages. According to KENS 5, the San Antonio Fire Department swiftly responded to the scene at the 100 block of Timberlane Drive near Rittiman Road. The fire was reported at approximately 4 a.m. and fire crews managed to quickly extinguish the flames before they could spread to the main house.

Not only were the two sheds engulfed, but also an overhang between them and a nearby tree, revealed SAFD crews. They stated that nobody was living in the home at the time of the incident, but a neighbor informed investigators that the homeowner's son had been staying in one of the sheds, which had no utilities. To avoid potential danger, the son apparently had left the previous day to stay elsewhere. News 4 San Antonio reported that this same property had experienced a fire one year prior.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation as crews work to determine the circumstances leading to the blaze. While the fire resulted in significant property damage, no injuries have been reported in connection with the incident.

As the investigation continues to unfold, both sources noted the financial cost of the damages, approximating the loss at around $12,000. The fire has not only affected tangible property but presumably has also left emotional and logistical disruptions in its wake for the family involved. "Damages from the fire are estimated to be around $12,000," according to SAFD, emphasizing the economic impact the fire levied on the homeowners, as reported by KENS 5.
