SAN ANTONIO – A fire left a vacant West Side home severely damaged early Wednesday, according to a San Antonio Fire Department spokesperson.
The fire was reported around 5:45 a.m. in a shed on the property of a home in the 300 block of Inez Avenue, not far from Northwest 36th Street.
When crews arrived, the home on the property was fully engulfed and flames had spread to other structures, the spokesperson said.
Crews were able to get the blaze under control in about 30 minutes. At one point, as many as 16 units were attached to the fire, according to a city fire department website.
Neighbors told a KSAT crew at the scene that a man, a woman and several dogs lived at the home, but they were not present when the fire broke out.
An SAFD official at the scene said a man and a woman, believed to be squatters, were inside the shed when the fire started.
SAFD said the home was a total loss. At least two other structures on the property were damaged.
No injuries were reported, and the cause is under investigation, according to SAFD. Fire investigators were expected at the scene.
