Last Saturday night, a sudden residential fire forced locals to swiftly evacuate their home as flames took hold of the structure. At approximately 10:38 p.m., emergency crews responded to reports of a fire at the intersection of Fenfield Avenue and New Laredo Way in the city's southwest area. According to FOX San Antonio, upon arrival, firefighters discovered the home already fully engulfed.

The intense scene was met with urgency as the crews to quickly douse the flames, working to prevent further spread to nearby structures. As detailed by a News 4 San Antonio report, the home's occupants were able to evacuate in time, luckily escaping any serious harm before the fire could entirely consume their residence.

While the cause of the fire is still under active investigation, the aftermath left surrounding infrastructure compromised; notably, the power lines close to the home suffered damage due to the incident. CPS Energy was promptly called to the scene to restore service in the affected area, as per News 4 San Antonio.

No further details have been provided about the potential cause or any suspects related to the fire's origin. Community members are expected to closely follow updates as officials continue to investigate.
