A massive fire late Tuesday night engulfed a vacant home on the West Side, with officials now pointing to possible homeless activity as the cause. The report from FOX San Antonio indicates that the blaze, which broke out just before 10:30 p.m. near Colima Street and Guadalupe Street, destroyed the structure and luckily resulted in no injuries as the residence was unoccupied at the time.
Firefighters arriving at the scene were met with intense flames billowing from the windows and around the house, the house didn't have active utilities but a live wire had made contact with a nearby fence, and this is according to an account by KENS 5. The facility was secured with burglar bars and its front door stood agape, feeding into the narrative that homeless individuals seeking refuge may have unwittingly started the fire.
While the exact cause of the fire remains unknown, investigations are ongoing. Officials suggest that the signs point to it being another incident affecting marginalized communities
