19 displaced after apartment complex fire on Northwest Side, SAFD says

Around 100 firefighters responded to the scene

SAN ANTONIO – Several people were displaced after a fire damaged a Northwest Side apartment building on Wednesday.

The fire was reported around 3:10 p.m. in a building at the Pearl Park complex, located in the 5100 block of Northwest Loop 410 near East Rolling Ridge Drive.

When firefighters arrived, the top apartments in the breezeway were fully engulfed in flames, according to the San Antonio Fire Department.

Video obtained by KSAT shows smoke from the fire billowing from the complex.

All eight units in the building sustained extensive damage, SAFD said. Some of the units sustained damage from smoke and water.

The 19 residents who live in the building were displaced. No injuries were reported.

SAFD said around 100 firefighters responded to the scene, and crews are rotating as needed to prevent heat exhaustion.
