BEXAR COUNTY, Texas – A fire has forced two people to evacuate their home in far West Bexar County early Monday morning.

The fire happened just before 5 a.m. at a home in the 300 block of Cardinal Way, not far from Potranco Road and outside Loop 1604.

Fire officials said the fire caused major damage to the inside of the house. The flames have since been put out. There was also some damage done to a backyard fence, but the fire did not spread to any nearby neighbors.
