Two Residents Displaced After Home Fire on the East Side
San Antonio, TX- A sudden blaze devoured a single-story dwelling on the east side of San Antonio earlier on Sunday, making two residents homeless. Firefighting crews reported to the distress call around 2:45 P.M near the junction of Kayton and Hallie Avenue, where they found a house completely incinerated in flames.
First Responders on the Scene
The incendiary sight of the voracious fire led to the immediate summoning of firefighters. Upon arriving on the scene, they found an active fire, quickly establishing a working command. Leveraging their expertise and quick response, the San Antonio Fire Department crews managed to extirpate the flames.
The fire left the house severely damaged. However, the intervention of the fire department ensured that just one home suffered in the incident, and a vehicle present on the property survived without any significant damage.
Aftermath of the Fire
The tragedy did hold a silver lining. Fortunately, no casualties were reported. The residents, although displaced from their domicile, survived the incident. The fire chief present at the scene affirmed that despite the stupendous damage, certain paraphernalia of the residents might still be salvageable.
The resilience of the residents is admirable as they have managed to survive this very distressing incident without any physical harm. They will duly stay with their family members as they start the process of recovery following this emotionally overwhelming incident.
Processing the Loss
