San Antonio firefighters faced an unusual sight in South Bexar County yesterday afternoon as they encountered nine large trucks engulfed in flames, prompting an investigation into the cause of the mysterious inferno.
As reported by KTSA News, the San Antonio Fire Department (SAFD) received a call from the 4300 block of South Loop 410 and IH-37 around 5 p.m. The fires were quickly extinguished by the firefighters, who arrived on the scene to find the vehicles ablaze.
Mirroring information provided by FOX San Antonio, the incident took place near 4300 South Loop 1604 East and South Flores Road at approximately 4:47 p.m. SAFD has confirmed that there were no injuries and no buildings were involved in the blaze, with the cause of the fire still under active investigation.
