SAN ANTONIO – Two people were hospitalized for minor injuries after a large fire at an apartment complex on the Northwest Side on Friday.
The fire was reported just after 10:50 a.m. in the 4900 block of Medical Drive, not far from Wurzbach Road.
At the height of the fire, more than 100 firefighters were on scene, according to SAFD.
An SAFD official said 12 units in one building were affected by the fire. The flames were close to a second building at the complex, though crews contained it, SAFD said.
A plume of smoke from the blaze could be seen for miles.
Arson investigators ruled the fire accidental but did not provide further details, according to SAFD Public Information Officer Joe Arrington.
A damage estimate was unclear. SAFD said 25 people were displaced due to the fire.
Three people suffered minor injuries.
SAFD stated that initial reports of people being trapped were false, and all residents had been accounted for.
Medical Drive in this area is closed until further notice due to fire equipment on the street.
