Firefighters said when they arrived, they found flames coming from the boarded up house. The boards caused a problem for the firefighters getting inside, but they still managed to get a quick knock down of the fire, fire officials said.

The San Antonio Fire Department said the house had previously been the scene of another fire.

A fire investigation team is working to determine the exact cause.

The San Antonio Fire Department, the San Antonio Police Department and EMS all responded to the call.

A damage estimate to the home was not given. No injuries were reported.
