One person was taken to the hospital after a house fire Sunday morning on San Antonio's southeast side. The patient was transported as a priority-two patient; no further details about the person's condition have been released.
The fire was reported at a single-family home in the 300 block of Pamela Drive, near Mona Lisa and Antoinette and East Southcross, according to KENS 5. Fire crews responded at about 7:41 a.m. and brought the blaze under control roughly 30 minutes after arriving.
Patient's Condition Still Unclear
No additional information about the hospitalized patient's condition was available in the report. The cause of the fire remains under investigation, and officials have not said what sparked it or how much damage the home sustained.
San Antonio Fire Department crews have responded to a string of residential and apartment fires across the city in recent months. In March, firefighters were credited with quickly containing a blaze at a north-side apartment complex on Sahara Drive that displaced 14 people, according to a separate KENS 5 report. Other recent incidents the station has covered include a fire that damaged a home on Eisenhauer Road in northeast San Antonio and a storage-unit fire in east Bexar County that left one person injured.
What Remains Unknown
As of Sunday, officials had not said whether anyone else inside the home was affected.
