SAN ANTONIO – A fire at an abandoned home on the North Side garnered a large response on Thursday morning and prompted firefighters to evacuate nearby structures.

The fire was reported just after 8:30 a.m. in the 1100 block of East Mulberry Avenue, not far from Broadway and the DoSeum.

The abandoned home was deemed a dangerous structure, resulting in a two-alarm fire response, according to firefighters. They were able to attack the flames from above and the front from different apparatuses.

The flames have since been extinguished, but firefighters are still sweeping the area.

The home is a complete loss. At this time it is unknown if anyone was inside. A resident said people experiencing homelessness often took shelter at the home.

Firefighters evacuated nearby structures, and an elderly woman who lives next door was checked out for smoke inhalation. She is expected to be OK.

The cause of the fire is unknown at this time.

Mulberry Avenue is closed due to the response.

KSAT has a crew at the scene. This story will be updated as more information becomes available.
