SAN ANTONIO – A fire that broke out overnight on the grounds of a West Side business spread to a double wide mobile home that was up for sale, the San Antonio Fire Department said Tuesday.

The fire was called in around 1:15 a.m. at Titan Factory Direct, located in the 1900 block of Southwest Loop 410, near Marbach Road.

Firefighters said when they arrived, they found the double wide at the business in flames. By the time they put out the fire, it had been burned to the ground became just a burned out frame, fire officials said.

Firefighters say when the got there they did not find anyone, so there were no injuries.

Authorities said they originally believed the fire to have consumed two mobile homes, but a more clear picture after daybreak changed their opinion.

Investigators spent quite a bit of time looking around the ruins, but we don’t know what, if anything they found.

According to the sign out out front, the business not only sells but builds the mobile homes. It did not appear that any of them had utilities hooked up to them, fire officials said.

There is no word on what caused the fire.
