‘Total loss’: Northeast Side home destroyed, neighbor’s house damaged after fire, SAFD says

SAN ANTONIO – A Northeast Side home was destroyed and a neighbor’s house was damaged after a fire on Wednesday, according to the San Antonio Fire Department.

The incident happened before 11:30 a.m. in the 5700 block of Kissing Oak Street near Judson Road.

SAFD spokesperson Joe Arrington said they were dispatched for a structure fire on the Northeast Side.

Upon arrival, he said firefighters found “heavy flames” coming out of a home’s roof.

As the fire destroyed the home, the blaze spread to a vacant home next door.

Responding units extinguished both fires, but the original house was a total loss. The neighboring home’s attic was damaged.

Arrington said there were no reported injuries, and the cause of the fire was under investigation.
