A fast-moving fire broke out around 4 a.m. Saturday at a home off Ridge Meadow Drive near Wenzel Road, on San Antonio's North Side, according to News 4 San Antonio.

Flames spread through the house and reached the attic, and residents of the homes on either side were evacuated as a precaution, News 4 San Antonio reported.

Everyone inside the burning home escaped safely, and no injuries were reported. The first hydrant firefighters tried did not provide an adequate water supply. Crews located another working hydrant, knocked the flames down after about an hour, and remained at the scene to take care of hot spots, the station reported.

The home appeared to have sustained substantial fire damage, but the full extent of the destruction was not immediately known, as reported by News 4 San Antonio.
