SAN ANTONIO – About six families who reside at The Preserve at the Port have been impacted by a fire that San Antonio Fire Department crews said started in a vacant building.
Bridge Morales said her neighbors alerted her to the fire.
“By the time I came to see it, that fire spread quick. It was scary,” she said.
The fire happened in the 400 block of Cropsey. The vacant building was connected to a building that was occupied by tenants.
Arson investigators are trying to find the cause of the fire.
A search through the KSAT archives shows there have been several fires in recent years at the apartment complex, which houses several buildings.
In 2017, a deadly fire killed one person and displaced several others.
In 2018, nearly a dozen cars under a carport caught fire. That same year, crews responded to a two-alarm fire that affected 20 units.
Online records show there have been half a dozen arson reports filed by police since 2017.
The management of the apartment complex declined to speak with KSAT.
The fire caused about $100,000 in damage.
