SAN ANTONIO – Arson investigators have been called to look into an overnight fire at a building that used to be a nightclub, San Antonio firefighters said Tuesday.

The fire was reported just before 1:30 a.m. at the former Annex Bar in the 330 block of San Pedro Avenue, not far from I-35 just north of downtown.

Firefighters worked for more than an hour to put out the flames. A damage estimate is not known. 

There were no reported injuries.
