SAN ANTONIO – The San Antonio Fire Department is investigating a fire on the South Side they believe was started after a domestic dispute.

Firefighters responded to the fire around 3:20 p.m. in the 300 block of East Hafer Avenue.

SAFD said it is unclear who started the fire. An SAFD spokesperson said the “cause is suspicious” and arson investigators are looking into it.

A small grass fire was also reported nearby along the San Antonio River. According to SAFD, investigators believe an ember from the house fire may have started the grass fire.
